[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15416"] It might seem like a "nudge" to you, but they can hurt other cows or you with those horns. Personally, I wouldn't mix any other breed with Longhorns. We've used de-horned Longhorn bulls for several years as "gomer" bulls, so we've had some around. We had a heifer calve while a young bull still had his horns. I watched him "guide" the 3-hour old calf this way and that by tapping him on one side or the other with his horns. The poor heifer stood and "oohed" at the calf, but could not do anything to rescue him. We got him away from the calf immediately and had him de-horned that day. When he came back from the vet, the momma cows beat the tar out of him. He had made their lives pretty miserable with those horns. Since then we've made it a point to get the horns off before we turn him out with the cows. [/QUOTE]
