Timber Ridge Longhorns, 7518 Alexander Road, Heyworth, IL (2026)

We are located in central Illinois and implement a strategically designed intensive grazing program that allows our cattle to be grazing on the most nutritious forages that our area has to offer. At Timber Ridge our cattle have 24/7 access to Purina Wind & Rain Avail 4 with Altosid mineral tubs and Purina Accuration protein tubs. This combination of minerals and protein keeps our cattle happy and

healthy out on pastures where God designed cattle to be. Give us a call if you would like to learn more about our management practices. We are becoming more involved every year in futurities across the country. We have even just begun our halter show careers as our 2 daughters will soon be of age to compete. Longhorn owners at the futurities have been the best we have come across in the industry and we are sure that halter shows will be the same. It is always like a homecoming when we attend these futurities and get to see our Longhorn family. Thank you to all that we have met for making this part of the Longhorn world so amazing for our family! Timber Ridge Longhorns would also like to thank all of our customers both domestic and overseas for their confidence in using Beretta 531 semen in their herds. We hope that he will forever change your programs as much as he is destined to change ours.

Our newest little lady made her debut today. 🩷🐮

Meet TR Backwoods Barbie 💎🎀🤠
TR Ridge Runner × TR Black Luxe

With the passing of the legendary Dolly Parton today, it only seemed fitting that this sweet girl carry a little bit of Dolly sass and sparkle in her name. ✨

Welcome to Timber Ridge, "Dolly". 🩷

The Great Cheesehead Futurity of 2026 is officially in the books for the Timber Ridge crew!

This year we loaded up a little bit of everything: a frosty red, a stripey brindle, a flashy stripey spotty brindle, and a black-and-white heifer.

How many futurities can say they held the awards inside the legendary Frozen Tundra at Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers? Just walking around that stadium was an experience we'll never forget.

Our girl, TR Black Luxe (RL Black Market influenced breeding) brought home the WIN in Class 7!! I'll be honest... I almost left TR Black Luxe at home. That buckle meant something a little different for the first time. It felt like the judges saw exactly what we value in our breeding program: sound feet, structural correctness, proper condition, with the added bonus of attractive horn and some flash of color. Those qualities matter just as much to us as inches of horn.

When you're competing in the older classes, it's hard to stand out if your heifer doesn't have that elite horn growth. Luxe has beautiful horn direction and steady growth, but black-horned cattle can be tough to compete with when it comes to horn. I kept second-guessing whether she belonged in our lineup.

We were proud of every single heifer we exhibited. One missed earning money by just 0.50 points in a large class, and another missed placing by 0.25 in the oldest class of the show.

We were also proud to bring our big, beautiful solid red heifer with the frosty face and twisty horns. We knew the Texas Longhorn world still isn't quite ready to hand a check to a solid red female, but we wanted to show her anyway because we believe in her. Her structure is outstanding, her horns are beginning to twist beautifully, and she's one of the easiest keepers in the pasture, even while sharing a feed bucket with three other heifers, including two pretty bossy ladies! We believe she's going to make an exceptional big twisty horn brood cow, and we can't wait to watch her future unfold.

Will we make one more futurity before the 2026 season wraps up? Maybe. But if this ends up being our only one, we'll head home completely satisfied.

What an incredible weekend. The Great Cheesehead Futurity brought together Texas Longhorn breeders from across the country. And where else can you find Cheeseheads and Da Bears fans celebrating together under one roof? The date was July 24th 2026 at Lambeau Field, brought together by a shared passion for these incredible animals.

We're grateful for the friendships, the competition, the memories, and the opportunity to be part of such a welcoming industry.

Until the next futurity... 💚🤍

Now it's time to throw TR Copper's Dream in with TR Ridge Runner, 2 fancy heifers in the pasture to keep growing, and our Class 7 winner? She's expecting her first calf in August by TR Ridge Runner. Crossing our fingers for a speckled up or frosty black beauty, just like her mama.

Welcome, Silent Picker!

Sometimes the right bull finds you.

After months of searching for our next herd sire, we knew exactly what we wanted, but finding him wasn't going to be easy. We wanted proven genetics, easy disposition, big b***d, easy keeping, good feet, and make beautiful longhorns. We knew we had to go back to our roots and start looking at Dickinson Cattle again.

There was just one problem.

Most of the Dickinson bulls available were either young prospects or BIG Deals. We needed a mature bull ready to step into our main herd.

Then, thanks to the Longhorn Friends Search bar: "Bull," we found Silent Picker.

And after doing some research...we knew.

A 2022 son of the impressive ICE Pick, out of the beautiful Silent Soloist (Silent Iron daughter), Silent Picker stacks generations of legendary genetics including Dragon Iron, WS Jamakizm, Field of Pearls, Super Bowl, Cowboy Tuff Chex, Rural Safari Son, Dragon Ice, Top Caliber, and Cut'N Dried. The pedigree speaks for itself.

But pedigrees only tell part of the story.

What impressed us most was the bull standing in front of us.

He's built like a bull with tremendous body, clean lines, excellent structure, and a brindle coat that demands your attention the second he steps into a pasture. He's easy to handle, and after spending just over a day working with him, we knew he possessed the quiet disposition we value so highly. You can tell he spent time in the show ring, those cattle just end up being easier to work, and it shows.

Even better...the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

Silent Picker was only about an hour from RL Black Market's new home, making one unforgettable road trip even more memorable. One incredible bull headed south, another incredible bull headed north.

Sometimes things just fall into place.

A huge thank you to Michael Owen for trusting us with this outstanding young herd sire. We truly believe there isn't a cow in our pasture that won't benefit from what Silent Picker has to offer, and we can't wait to watch the next chapter of Timber Ridge Longhorns unfold.

This was a Fourth of July we'll never forget.

Welcome home, Silent Picker.
