[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1251023, member: 12607"] 20 acres, you're not going to be raising many. Likely not going to be doing much more than supplementing the grocery bill; sure not gonna get rich at it (but who is?). Agree with the ext. agent...you're not going to have folks beating down your door for those Longhorn cattle, and if you send them through any of the local livestock auctions, you'll likely not bring home much of a check; it may be VERY disappointing. But, if you want 'em, go for it...horns and hide only go so far... and if you want a lean, stringy piece of meat... well, you can probably produce a little of it with those LHs. I wouldn't go that route, but if it's what floats your boat...it's no one's business but your own. Guess you could do as some here advocate...have some LH cows, and breed them to a growthy polled Charolais bull to get something that will actually grow - and it might 'disguise' what they are enough that you won't get your shorts eaten if you run one through the salebarn.
