Longhorns084.jpg


This is a son of BT Heineken Dark, he'll be two years old next month. His name is BT White Cloud, he's out of a big roan cow with a ton of horn. He's in the same pasture as his papa right now. We have a bull pasture that we keep them in and pull them out as needed for breeding or as we sell them.

The markings on his side say he's version 3.5. :D

No offense, but he is not what I like to see in a bull- or a feeder steer for that matter.

He has no muscle and is funneled butt

;-) Besides that, he ain't black and has horns. 8)

Longhorns aren't raised for the reason you have in mind. It's all about horn and color and orginal longhorn confirmation. He is a lean moving machine. He is designed to cover some ground when grazing.
 
No offense taken, I certainly have the choice to breed black and polled and don't. These cattle aren't for everyone but they're good cattle, just depends what you want to breed for.

Put one of them black bulls in the environment this guy can thrive in, and those black bulls will have less muscle, if they don't lay down and die.
 
There is one long horn breeder in the area or at least that is what the sign says I don't think I have seen any animals but it was winter when I was last out that way so they could have been kept in a separate area.Anywho my question is how do they do in cold weather.This is Alberta and even though they were around the Calgary area it still gets to minus 30 in the winter.I think those horns are magnificent.

I do understand that most Longhorn breeders do raise for "long"horns. I've seen some really nice longhorns that probably didnt have the best tip to tip length. I guess its whatever works for and they must be working or else you wouldnt be in them. Good Luck with him.

Those cattle should be proud to have horns. The dinky horns some Horned Herfs have and limis have... they are the sad ones. :lol:

Thanks for the comments. I think he'll turn out ok. I don't know how close of a connection the Highland breed has with these. I don't think it's very close at all. I like the Highland from what I've seen though.

He's looking for a new zip code. :)

I need to get more land before I can have any cattle. Plan 1 for getting out of debt from the divorce is completed.

Plan 2, getting funds for land has started. Meanwhile, plan 2A, learning which breed of cattle is compatable for the area I want to live, has commennced.

Chrisy - this is taken from an article called "A Dying Breed?" on the Cattlemen's Texas Longhorn Registry site. Don't know how valid it is, but CTLR is heavily involved in genetic testing to determine longhorn "purity".

"Longhorns descended from cattle that explorers brought over in the 1500s from southwestern Spain. Through genetic tests, scientists have discovered that most of the Texas longhorns are related most closely to the retino cattle, which are solid-colored, ranging from brown to red. These cattle can still be found in Andalusia today."

And good luck to to you 63DH8. Been there, done that, and got the t-shirt.
 
ETF...thanks for the information, I had forgotten about the Cattle with long horns in Spain, they are the ones they use in Bullfighting. Horrid sport, not fair on the Bull.
 
Absolutely. Never been to a bull fight and have no interntion of ever going, but I'd definitely be pulling for the bull.
