[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 52621, member: 440"] Grew up with Shorthorn, Hereford and Angus cows-alternated between Angus and Hereford bulls. Dad kept cross bred heifers from these breeds. He got a Charolais bull when I was about 12. So then we started having tan and yellow heifers that stayed in the herd. I bought a Beefmaster bull and two heifers in the ninth grade as my FFA project. My parents loved them and have had a herd of Beefmaster cows ever since. Dad did use a black Beefalo bull for a while and there are still several big black cows in his herd. I still have a couple of Beemaster cross cows because I've always liked them but I now have a herd of registered Texas Longhorns. Six years ago I went to the next county to set up a booth at the fair for the company that I work for. I went out to the cattle barns to see the different breeds and there was about 30 head of Longhorns there, all haltered and cleaned up and standing around calm as could be. I went back to work the next day and told a friend that I worked with about them. He lived in town and had no livestock although both he and his wife had grown up on a farm-his dad had raised Herefords. Larry asked if I would go back to the fair with him to see the Longhorns so after work we went back and paid to get in just to see them. We got to talking to a man and his wife who were only about an hour and a half away. Two weeks later we went to the man's farm and I picked out a heifer so Larry aksed could he keep one at my place if he bought one-so I figured that we might as well buy a Longhorn bull too.
