ROCKWOOD, PA, February 17, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jason Svonavec of Banshee Farms, LLC has partnered with Curtis Hamer of 2H Longhorns to expand a high-quality Texas Longhorn cattle program in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Based in Rockwood in the Laurel Highlands, the initiative aims to strengthen Longhorn genetics for breeders across the Northeast.

The program, housed at Banshee Farms, centers on consistent bloodlines, sound conformation, and ethical land stewardship. Jason Svonavec brings operational leadership and a commitment to responsible agriculture rooted in his family's history in Somerset County. His focus is on breeding Longhorns that exemplify the breed's key characteristics: resilience, temperament, fertility, and classic horn direction.

"Partnering with 2H Longhorns gives us greater consistency and reach," said Jason Svonavec. "Our shared values in land use, livestock quality, and long-term planning make this a strong foundation for the future of Longhorn cattle in Pennsylvania."

Cattle in the program graze on native mountain pasture, where the environment supports both herd health and sustainable growth. The breeding plan combines respected bloodlines with a strict selection process that prioritizes both form and function.

Angela Svonavec, co-owner of Banshee Farms, emphasized the program's goals: "We're pairing proven genetics with sound practices to offer cattle that meet serious breeders' expectations."

Curtis Hamer, founder of 2H Longhorns, added, "This partnership allows us to maintain the heritage of the breed while helping ranchers move their herds forward."

The joint program will release limited breeding stock and genetics to select buyers across the region. Priority traits include:

- Genetic consistency and high-quality pedigree matchups

- Correct structure and conformation

- Docile temperament and herd manageability

- Long-term health and adaptability

By integrating local resources, shared experience, and clear breeding goals, Jason Svonavec and the team at Banshee Farms Longhorns are building one of the Northeast's most consistent sources for registered Texas Longhorn cattle.
