At the 2016 Longhorn Extravaganza, the End of Trail Ranch was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award for the dedication to the Longhorn industry shown by Mike and Debbie through the years.

FRED AND CHERYL BRYANT ELAH VALLEY LONGHORNS Elah Valley Longhorn Ranch in the Ozarks of southwest Missouri was born out of a retirement dream for raising cattle and country living. Before retirement, Fred Bryant worked in the agriculture industry while raising a son and two daughters. Upon retiring in 2005 and moving back to Missouri, the registered Longhorn part of the dream was a new “twist” (pun intended) when they decided they loved the looks of these critters. Before long, Fred and Cheryl had a nice starter herd of heifers and cows from well-established and recognized breeders. In addition to these, they added a pretty amazing herd sire, and things started moving fast. They continue to explore and add other blood lines to the herd and anticipate that the best is yet to come! In fall of 2015, they added 7 Bar Brandy’s Bailee from Tom and Linda Harman’s herd and another herd sire, Tuff ’s Titan, out of Cowboy Tuff Chex and FL Rio Maxine. They are excited to see what the progeny of these new additions will produce. They love the Longhorns, but perhaps the best part of the business is the incredible “family” of breeders that have become friends who they are thankful to have the opportunity to share life with.
