"ONE OF A KIND" CATTLE SKULLS
The secret 26 step Longhorn Head to Tail Genuine Texas Longhorn Skull polishing process is state-of-the-art.

|
 |
First, start with a donor who no longer requires a skull. LHT starts with Genuine Texas Longhorn cattle. Most of the skulls come from Dickinson Cattle Co., Inc. |
 |
Next is the slow natural low heat cooking process within a plastic cover. This is done with ultra-violet sun solar energy. It softens and breaks down non-bone tissue for prompt removal. Skulls are slow cooked on top of a truck trailer out of reach of coyotes, wolves, dogs, cats, fox, or looters. |
| Skulls are cooked in a 100 gallon boiler and all the non-bone bits are removed by high pressure spray. | |
| Skulls are Whitened using professional taxidermy whitening chemicals. | |
 |
One of the final steps is a sun cure drying process. Horn shells are removed and the core bone is air dried in clean bright country sunshine. |
 |
The final touch on every skull is the protective coating. No paint, plaster or rope is used to cover up poor workmanship. Bone is like a sponge, so the final clear coating seals the pores and protects from most liquid stains. |
