About Us

Bryan and I bought our ranch 18 years ago in Blanket, Texas. Our new neighbor had several Longhorn cattle he had over grazed a bit as rain had been pretty sparse in the area. After discussing, Bryan and I thought it would be great to be able to help a neighbor out, keep our Ag Exemption, and have our grass mowed! I am sure many of you have the same story! We immediately fell in love with those cows! Watching them and learning their habits was a very fun and educational experience. We finally offered to purchase those cows from our neighbor so it began! We officially named our ranch Alkabry Ranch which is a play on our name. People couldn’t pronounce it so instead, we came up with something really original, “Circle A Longhorns”. Here, our brand was born.

We had friends who raised Longhorns in the Christoval, Texas area. They invited us to join them at the Red McCombs sale. Then we went to our first TLBAA Horn Showcase! Immediately, our passion exploded and it was decided, we wanted to raise and show these majestic animals. We have expanded our knowledge of genetics and what a Texas Longhorn should look like.
