"It's not the ranch's job to produce what the cow
needs to perform.....
It's the cow's job to perform on what the ranch
can best provide!!"
That's just one of
many reasons I choose the Texas Longhorn over any other breed. Browse utilization, Calving ease, temperament, disease
resistance, longevity and good tasting lean meat. Not to mention there beauty. Each one unique and elegant,
one of a kind, created by God and shaped by nature. The goal at MR3 Ranch is to selectively breed to produce a superior breed of Texas Longhorn.
"The great bulls are expressed through their progeny".
MR3 Highway Rebel, sired by the two time horn show case winner Rebel Red and his dam Highway girl out of a Grand world Champion
is proving just that, to be a great bull! His first calves have shown his potential. All are showing his great disposition
and good conformation. Of the 15 cows bred to him, 4 heifers went over 48" and 2 over 50" TTT by 24 months. Of the 15
cows only one had over 60" of horn and all but one had a heifer calf. Some of his heifers are over 40" at 16 months. He drops
the horns down on all of them and increases the diameter. His daughters are good milkers too! I have a lot of well
known high dollor bulls in my tank, but the one doing the best job is standing out back in the mud and snow.
Take a Look at some of his Heifers on the 2004 Heifers page. >
( It's just more fun to grow the ones with lots of horn! ) A limited amount of Semen
is available! $25 per straw!

MR3 Miles Away: DOB: 8/1/05 Takes first in her class at the World Qualifying Show and was measured at
the Horn Showcase satilite station in Red Bluff on 10/27/06 Horns 43 1/4" TTT. She measure 50"ttt a few days
after turnig 18 months. 56+" at 22 months. In my humble opinion I believe her to be the longest horned heifer for her age
in the industry today. "2007 Horn Showcase Measured on 10/26/07 She won all three of her classes! 61 1/2" Tip to Tip
74 7/16" Total and 159 1/16" Composite! "Yee Haw!"

Disposition is of the utmost importance when working with cattle. "Especially
cattle with lots of horn! |

Mothering ability and calving ease! This young cow with her second calf
by Semrod, Both in 2003. Bull calf at less then five months of age here. Weaned at 183 days. He was about 60
lb. at birth. Check out the cows page!
The use of A.I. ( Artificial Insemination ) is one of the tools
used here at MR3 Ranch to utilize the best genetics in the industry. You can see some of the bulls we are using under
Reference Sires. We also have transportation available. ( On our cattle
only. )
"Longevity = Less replacements, more calves, more profit! Rachel at age
17 still dresses up for a day of cleaning the drive. ( "For the occasion, she adorns a horn woven wad of purple flowered Vetch.
A sumptuous complement to her lavish Blue Roan hide. )
Conformation: Selectively breeding to achieve conformity without
sacrificing disposition, horn, and color. MR3 Rebel Girl below is a
good example with her 2008 heifer calf out of JBR CASH, a two time Horn Showcase Champion.
Take a look at her yearling bull MR3 Bo Jangles out of Victory Lap.
