Texas Longhorns are my passion and I thank you for your interest in my cattle. My goal is to match my customers with cattle that fit their breeding program and personal preferences. In viewing my web site, if you find one or more Texas Longhorns that you are interested in, please contact me for the price and any other information you need. While the majority of my cattle are for sale, I have a few animals that I am retaining in my breeding program for the present and have tried to indicate that in the information about them.

Dave Evans Breeder of the Year Award
In 2011 I was awarded the “Dave Evans Breeder of the Year Award” which has been awarded to individuals since 1982 who have dedicated themselves to the betterment of Texas Longhorn cattle through their breeding program. It is a significant honor to be a recipient of this award, named in honor of a dedicated Texas Longhorn breeder, Dave Evans, and I was very honored to join such a distinguished list of recipients.
Star Creek Ranch is my home and my passion. I love sharing the land and cattle with others. I frequently have people drive by and stop to take pictures. If I can I always take time to show them around. I love to help new breeders just getting started by answering questions and sharing tips and ideas. I have a huge lake on the ranch and many friends come fishing. Friends from my church come camping on occasion. Some come to hunt hogs – the scourge of all landowners. I have wonderful employees who help me keep the place in top condition and the animals well cared for. My Border collie, Indy, is my constant companion and top cow dog – well she thinks she is, and who am I to argue. Life is great at Star Creek Ranch and I invite you to come for a visit.
