[QUOTE="Onthebit, post: 522993, member: 8087"] There are a lot of commercial breeds that are horned...burn them off when they are calves.......The short legs will not produce bulldog (terminal gene) when crossed with a longleg...there are whole herds of longlegs...they are around 40 inches tall at the hip....Nice cows to work with...as they have also been bred for disposition....the thing about these cows is that they can finnish on grass unlike the modern commercial breeds who need high grain to put on back fat etc....you can't feed the world with old genetics though...so I have nothing against either ! I have 4 dexter cows and I just got my first one for christmas! Im impressed with them...I have one witch....she is boss cow....so some day im going to have to let her know I am the boss and 3 nice quiet sweeties who like scratches and treats....they all have horns....
