[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1698807, member: 32659"] This made me laugh. The old cut the horns off trick. I know several traders that buy horned cattle and do this to resale for a profit. It’s actually a good strategy. There’s some really really good cows out there that bring a couple hundred less simply because they have horns. As far as the Mexican cattle go I understand why people run them and the strategy behind it. Some guys do this with longhorns also. Funny story here. My neighbor has 60 acres and bought a couple longhorn calves to mess with. He doesn’t come around much so I looked after them ( didn’t take much). One day me and the 5 yo Grandson were coming back from checking cows and both of those longhorns had gotten in my pasture right behind our house. I stopped and was thinking I gotta get these dang thing outta here. Before I could say anything the grandson looks at me and says “ Grandpa you finally got some good bulls”. I had a good laugh and just went back and shut the gate to that pasture. I’m guessing the horns is what made them “good bulls”. [/QUOTE]
