Lazy R Miniature Longhorns

Lazy R Miniature Longhorns raises spanish criollo cattle in Somerset, TX, in Bexar County and South Texas near San Antonio. It participates in national breed association programs and follows DNA-based health-testing protocols to maintain strong genetics and disease resistance.

The breeding program emphasizes maternal instincts, adaptability to heat and forage variability, structural soundness and longevity. Each calf spends its early weeks on rotational pasture with a tailored mineral regimen and gentle daily handling designed to build trust. Nutritional plans are adjusted seasonally to match forage quality and growth stages, supporting optimal development without stress.

A balanced mix of shaded loafing areas, open grazing and sheltered pens supports both comfort and natural foraging behavior during Texas weather extremes. Visitors often remark on the herd’s calm demeanor and robust hardiness, characteristics that reflect both heritage values and careful stewardship.
