Well you did have poor quality longhorns. They're not best example of good quality longhorns. A member on here, named Ryan has really nice stock of beef type Longhorns and I've seen few nice beef longhorns that raises big calves.
We didn't know much better getting started, and honestly I haven't seen any beefy type LH out here. I've even gone to a show, and wasn't impressed so I'm moving on to a different breed. The only thing to do after making a mistake is to learn from it.
For wild cattle there great.
Beef taste wonderful you will just starve to death waiting on them to grow. Just a little over a hundred years ago they were wild cattle natural selection went in the opposite direction of today's beef industry.
The order buyers know they will have to spend more time on feed to slaughter, that is why they are so heavily docked.
