There will be about 8 steer mounts per year. Each steer is different, some have perfect symmetrical horns and most have small variations, dings, and bumps, etc. — that is nature. Each steer is born and raised here at Dickinson Cattle Co,LLC, Barnesville, Ohio, USA. Some were processed in summer and others winter. The hair coats will be different and some horn injures may be slightly visible. Steers do play, sometimes rough.
To purchase a steer mount send your email address to darol@head2tail.com and request addition to the list. Regular notifications will be sent when new mounts are completed. You will remain on the list to receive notification of new steers when they come stampeding in. If you are tired of seeing these awesome, beautiful, one-of-a-kind steer mounts, ask and you will sadly be removed from the list.
The ranch site for polished skulls is www.head2tail.com. We do not show the taxidermy mounts on-line for sale as they sell pronto. We always have a great selection of USA polished Western skulls ready to ship for a much lower price than full taxidermy mounts. The LHTT polished skulls are the finest craftsmanship in the osteology industry with the LHTT 26 step process. Prices $300 to $6000.
All of our Texas Longhorn Mounts have our specially designed removable horns for easy hanging and shipping.
Mounts used to have to be shipped by truck at great expense, but with the removable horns and a change in the maximum size, this will fit in a box that UPS can deliver.
There is a charge for the custom built wooden shipping crate.
All the steers that we mount are bred, grown, and processed only with beautiful colored faces, wide twisty horns and the most professional workmanship.
The form used for this mount was custom developed by H.C Vick and is an original artistic form developed from actual skulls and living animals. H.C. Vick is a world renowned taxidermist with hundreds of live action mounts in museums all across the USA and Giraffe and Elephant mounts at Bass Pro shop in Springfield, MO. This quality of form is not available to other “run-of-the-mill” taxidermists that simply use the mounts available to them from general taxidermy supply catalogs.
Occasionally, free delivery is available on mounts. Cattle deliveries take our trucks into many different states. If you happen to live near one of our delivery routes, you can meet up with our truck and have your mount delivered for free, with no crating cost.
Specimen exhibition quality mounts are completed every 30-40 days. Mounts are usually sold within a day or two of completion. If you are interested in obtaining one of our high quality Texas Longhorn Mounts, please contact us to add your name to the list. We will send out a notice of completed mounts with photos, measurements and prices as mounts are delivered from the taxidermist.
