Albanese Longhorns started on a drive to a car show in Norfolk, NY in 1990. With a one-year-old and six-month-old in tow (Chrissy and Marianne), Mike and Frank took a wrong turn on a back road and passed by a sign that said “Plum Creek Longhorns.” Frank wouldn’t stop so Mike quickly wrote the phone number from the sign into the dust on the dashboard. Bruce Hakes sold Mike his first cows, who himself just recently got into the longhorn industry via Piney Hill and Bill Beal. The rest was history. Our cattle at Albanese Longhorns are pasture-raised in the fresh air and sunshine of Central New york. They and are grass-fed from nutrient-rich local hay we grow ourselves, which produces an unparalleled flavor in the beef.
