[QUOTE="bwflonghorns, post: 197917, member: 3553"] Rustler,, good post. I have been raising longhorns for 15 years. Do fairly well with them, and my largest money maker is selling Longhorn bulls to commercial breeders.. average about 12 bull a year to ranchers that realize that putting a LH bull on their first year heifers is a good economic choice. I do admit that I have 5 generations of solid black LH's..but.. that does not mean they will never get colors, spots, specs, brindle whatever. They do and I have several as well. I have several repeat customers who just love the bulls, do pretty well on the calves and their young ladies bred back fast as they are not all ripped up from having their 1st calves. They have also commented on how fast those LH babies get going after birth.. tearing around the pasture at a few hours old, healthy as can be. I have run into a few that just cant get past the wild and crazy longhorns of the late 1800's and early 1900's.. my response? I ask what other business decisions they base on truisms of 100+ years ago. They are the easiest breed to raise, make excellent beef, if you prefer all natural and not gobs of fat.. intelligent critters, quess u know all that! Happy Longhorn Trails to you [/QUOTE]
