The Texas Longhorn Ranch Germany – certified organic cattle in Franconia

We used to raise American Quarter Horses for quite a time and during our trips across the USA we met the Texas Longhorns multiple times. It’s the animal which helped building the legend of the land of opportunity and because of their beauty we simply fell in love with the idea of raising Texas Longhorns in Germany. Until then no one had ever succeeded bringing them back to Europe alive.

Reproducing cattle out of embryones had never been easy because you never know how the procedure will turn out. As we are pure nature lovers and organic farmers we decided to import living animals – like no one had tried before! After a long search we were lucky to meet our partner with whom the dream came true. It was our partner’s commitment and our permanent vision of it to make it happen. Everyone involved like the European and German authorities – helped us on this difficult way. After two intensive and long years we had – together with our partner – fulfilled the certification process. Finally – it was spring 2011 – the first Texas Longhorn Cattle being imported alive touched German ground. It was an amazingly happy moment.
