Beaver Creek Cattle Co., located in north-central Oklahoma, is
home to Longhorns with striking eye-appeal. We produce Longhorns with great color, conformation, disposition and
great horns.
Coloration of longhorn cattle is fascinating. BCC
longhorns show tremendous variation in colors as we strive for "every color in
the rainbow". Horn shape is almost as varied as color. What
wonderful eye-appeal these animals have as they decorate the tallgrass prairie.
Most of our cows are for sale and prices are included next to
the pictures. A few are marked nfs (not for sale) for various reasons -
often sentimental!

New calves = fun times!
There is always one who just doesn't want to settle down at
nap time. 
Our longhorns are friendly!!!
The ranch is located on the shores of Kaw Reservoir where Beaver Creek runs into
the lake. The land was part of the Kaw Reservation and backs up to the
Osage Reservation. It's on the southern end of the Flint Hills, so it's
rocky, but grows wonderful bluestem pasture. It has never been plowed.
Beaver Creek runs down from eastern Kansas and is a great haven to wildlife and
a stop-over location for migrating waterfowl and wintering eagles.
Just to the east of us is the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve with its free-ranging
herds of massive American buffalo.
Prairie fires come through about every 2-3 years. They clean off the
brush and give new life to the pastures. It's always an adrenalin rush to
watch the flames sweep through, but the cows take is all in stride and move into
the water's edge. The fire that passed through two days before this photo
was taken burned a little over 30,000 acres.
Following the fires, the prairie comes alive with new growth and wild flowers
like this butterfly milkweed and prickly-pear cactus.

I have three sons and their families who are great to help when
needed, especially for the big items like fencing, yearly vaccinations, and
pulling me out when I get stuck in the snow. Good friends and neighbors pitch in
regularly.
| I spend a lot of time out on the prairie, enjoying
the outdoors and the longhorns and the wildlife. I'm lucky because
my family and friends enjoy sharing it with me.
However,
I do
have a "real job" as a veterinary parasitologist (parasites of
animals), so I'm often hard to reach. But email me, or call, and I'll try
to get back with you. I always enjoy talking with other longhorn folks.
