From the Texas Legislature Site: 02/23/2009 H Referred to State Affairs Introduced "Affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth...

    Has anyone else seen this? New Anti-Gun Law

    We've got record turnouts at just about every gun show in Texas. Last time I went to the Austin show, about two months ago, there were 300 people in line just to get in, and it had been open four hours. The isles were so packed with people, you had to keep walking single-file and keep up with...

    Longhorn question

    Compared to your average salebarn cattle, average Longhorns will: 1.Cost half as much. 2.Eat half as much. 3.Live twice as long. 4.Calves will sell for half as much (@auction). Longevity and hardiness is what makes the money for a cattleman with longhorns. We have several 18+ year old...

    Crossbred Breed ?

    Why should a "breed" have to be a certain color? I think most people miss the point with the word breed... breed: noun: Genetics. a relatively homogenous group of animals within a species, developed and maintained by humans. -relatively similar GENES... If you cross a black with a red 4...

    Black Texas Longhorn Bull

    He throws black calves sometimes, and also brindle. It is pot luck with him as his black color isn't dominant. The last Bull I raised out of him was a brown paint and later became a brindle w/paint, real nice lookin'. This is a picture of him on another breeder's ranch during the draught. He...

    Breeding Philosophy

    My philosophy on raising cattle is to produce hard-working, tough, long-lasting longhorn cattle for the South Texas/desert cattleman. I focus on the traits that gave longhorns their adaptability and hardiness... I won't sell a very old (17+) cow because she's a little slow in producing this...

    Purebred?

    Santa Gertrudis Beefmaster Brangus Cross registered Beefmaster with a cross between Reg. Charolais and Reg. Angus.- Given proper pheno/genotype selection of the individual animals, you will have a more productive, efficient, and better quality animal than any one of the above by itself. The...

    Cow Size

    I don't think Longhorn bulls naturally have low-hanging sacks- they evolved a tight underside(wouldn't you if you walked across stickers and cactus all day for 400 years?), but I wouldn't cut any other breed because they did. He needs to diversify his knowledge of cattle . He sounds like one of...

    Cow Size

    I raise longhorns and my average cow weight is probably around 900-1000lbs. Some benefits in my case: -Don't have to feed so much hay during winter. (1 bale to every 3 that the beefmaster/hereford/limo herd gets, and same # of head) -They graze a pasture year-round, whereas the fatties need to...
