[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 280507, member: 9"] Longhorn Temperaments: On a scale between 1 and 100...lol. To explain... Lot depends on their breeding, management, and people interaction. We have one or more that you definitely want to keep your distance from (but they produce great docile calves). We have one or more that come up to you to be petted. We have one or more that you can walk up behind or to their side and they'll stand there. Others, might try to kick you...lol. The trick is: To know the personality of ANY given Longhorn and know what they want, will tolerate, and how they will relate to a human. ON THE WHOLE, however, Longhorns are very docile and easily managed. A Longhorn will not aggress on impulse: They will size up the problem, situation, then decide on a course of action toward a predator. Yet, don't try to get between a mama and her un-weaned calf; or, between a bull and a cow in heat... About true for any breed...no? If we end up with a calf that has an attitude problem...well, he/she's either going to Sale Barn or in our Freezer... ;-) Another things with Longhorns: They are very agile, can run fast, and make a 90 degree or 360 deg. turn on a dime. They also love to play in the pasture regardless of how old they might be. [/QUOTE]
