Heritage Breeds

My husband and I decided to add a small

herd of true Texas Longhorns to our farm

in 2011, and what an adventure it’s been

raising these amazing creatures! We were

attracted to the breed’s reputation for

self-reliance, easy birthing, and tenac-

ity, and they’ve certainly lived up to that

reputation, even through one of the worst

droughts on record. Thank you for bring-

ing attention to the importance of pre-

serving this amazing heritage breed!

Supporting Monarchs

My household supports monarch but-

organization called Monarch Watch, head-

waystations all over the United States,

including the one in my backyard.

We plant four types of native milkweed

(Asclepias spp.) in our garden as a food

source for monarch caterpillars. We also

plant Mexican sunflowers, asters, sedum,
