About CowMatch:
Business/Breed: Online Cattle Market for Scottish Highland Cattle
Location: Online only!
Contact: info@cowmatch.com
"Our goal with CowMatch is to help bridge the gap between buyers and sellers.
We want to create a user-friendly space that will appeal not only to farmers and ranchers, but also to the new homesteader and hobby farmers. We want to help buyers find exactly what they are looking for, while helping sellers market their animals. We want to protect and preserve heritage breeds and market them in a space where they will be appreciated (not just lowballed because they have hair and horns). We want to connect buyers with transportation options, so they can have their new purchases delivered right to their door (or in this case pasture). We hope that CowMatch will be able to make this a reality."

A selected team of FFA or 4-H students, raise and exhibit the Longhorns at eight to ten state, and national longhorn shows per year, including the Houston Livestock and Rodeo™.
