That'd be a bit of a worry, buying one named Houdini.

He needs a nose ring to go with the earrings and tattoos.

He looks like a typical 6 month old full blood criollo, will probably grow out nicely for what he is. Zooming in on the pictures of the parents, looks like he has the potential to grow a nice set of horns. There's a guy down in Texas I follow on TikTok that butchers that type of longhorn then sells the skull and horns for a pretty hefty price. He grinds all the meat from what I gather. KD Bar cattle company is name of his outfit. Pretty large outfit, ships beef and has developed his own coffee brand.

Yep, he is...or will be... a registered Longhorn, from the Hubbell Longhorn ranch in Michigan. If you look at the pics of his two Grandsires, I agree with you that he has the potential to grow an impressive set of horns. Him being a solid color is probably why he is on Craigs List instead of in the "for sale" section of their website. Solid color is a negative for this sector of the reg LH industry. The type they raise are bought by people for novelty animals..... "exotics"..etc., and sell for 4 and 5 figures. Another reason a solid colored brown animal isn't worth as much. Cowboy semen is $300 a straw, and 20 Gauge is by private treaty.
I got a buddy in the horse business that keeps a herd of wide-horned, loud-colored LHs, that he doesn't even bother registering. He gets a lot of money for the head mounts and hides when he butchers... the meat is just a minute part of the money. He sells it as grass-fed burger, very lean..93/7, to health-food nuts.
There is good money in these novelty-mini-exotic cattle. I was watching one of the sales in KY yesterday...usually the cheapest cattle across the board , compared to sales in other states (but consistently has some of the best cows and heifers I see all day) , and dang dwarf looking highland calf, just weaned, sold for $1800!! More than heavy-bred, black cows and heifers brought!

But he ain't Cute or "To die for".
No he is not. Which is why he is on Craig's List instead of on their website for $10k or something else outrageous.
