Welcome to the

Southeastern Texas Longhorn Association


SETLA is an affiliate of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America and was founded in 1983 by a small group of breeders east of the Mississippi who found a common love for the Longhorn breed. Today, the Association has 40 members in three states. Our members include hobby breeders, as well as serious breeders who have made raising Longhorns their business. We invite you to become part of our organization and experience the excitement of this magnificent breed.

We also schedule field days and ranch tours each year which provide the opportunity to see how fellow breeders operate their programs and to provide education and support for the Longhorn breeder. It is a great opportunity to enjoy fellowship with old friends and make new friends in the Longhorn industry!
