Raising Texas Longhorns The Way We Always Have
Our Herd Sire Sittn' Bull races to the pasture full of heifers! |
The Gravett’s began raising Texas Longhorns at G&G Longhorns in 1988 as a natural extension of their interest in agriculture. The ranch has evolved into one of the leading programs in the breed. For many years, the Gravett’s hosted a sale near their home in Virginia known as the Gravett-Babington Sale with the late Paul Babington, to offer their cattle and also provide a place for their customers to market through consignments. The Gravett’s are the founders of the successful Millennium Futurity. Ben founded the super successful Horn Enterprise. This is a partnership that includes some of the hottest bulls in the breed including Sittin Bull. In 2010 and 2011 Ben & Ann put on the Annual Fall Roundup. This event is to help breeders on the eastern side of the United States to brand their cattle as well as enjoy some knowledge. This event also raises money for various charities. Always willing to serve, Ben has been active on several boards at the national level, along with being a major supporter of the breed through contributions and donations including those to the TLMA's 2008, 2009, and 2010 Longhorn World Championship.
In 2010 the Gravetts were awarded the Millennium Futurity Breeder of the Year. They accomplished this act without showing a single animal. Ben is also the chairman for the Texas Longhorn Heritage Foundation. |
