Episode 3 Curtis and Ross Ohlendorf of Rocking O Longhorns

  • Resumen

  • Rocking O Longhorns' Curtis and Ross Ohlendorf were recently named the 2020 Texas Longhorn Breeders Of The Year by the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America. The Dave Evans Top Breeder award is one of the top honors of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America.

    Mr. Curtis Ohlendorf and his son Ross, are two of the most humble and genuine Texans you will ever meet. They are one of the top breeders in the country, and after you listen to their history and experience you will understand why. 

    Curtis Ohlendorf is a fifth-generation Texas farmer/rancher and is the one most responsible for making Rocking O Longhorns what it is today. His love of animals and agriculture, along with a chance sighting of a colorful newborn longhorn at a cousin's ranch, was the inspiration of our herd. With help from his sons, he slowly grew the herd by leasing more and more land. Fence and pasture improvements were commonplace, and many a hot Texas day was spent carrying fenceposts and wire through rugged terrain. Since retiring from the University of Texas in 2008, he has managed to fill his time with the various activities involved in managing a cowherd that numbers about 200 breeding-age females spread out on 2500 acres. 

    Ross Ohlendorf inherited his father's love of ranching, but his job as a Major League baseball pitcher used to keep him away from the ranch for about eight months of the year. He would help out at the ranch when at home and would stay as involved as he could during the season. He managed the website and handled most of the marketing. He also took advantage of his travels by stopping by a number of herds around the country. After playing for the New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres, and Washington Nationals, he was thrilled to be able to stay close to home for the 2015 season, signing with the Texas Rangers. That season was highlighted with a save in game 2 of the playoffs against the Toronto Blue Jays. For 2016, he ventured out of state again to be a relief pitcher with the Cincinnati Reds, and for 2017 he decided to go International, starting pitching for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. His love of longhorns has been well documented over the years, with feature stories in Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, Modern Farmer, Texas Monthly, the Texas Longhorn Journal, and a Tokyo newspaper. While playing baseball, Ross dreamed of one day returning to the ranch full time. That dream became a reality in the spring of 2018, and he has been working alongside his father daily since then.
