[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 604200, member: 3999"] Funny you should bring up Longhorns today. I just visited a registered Longhorn ranch yesterday and my opinion has not changed. And the owner of the cattle and ranch confirmed my feelings on the breed. They are novalties, pasture ornaments (mentioned before), dangerous, hard to work (need special facilities), meat is really not all that good and, believe it or not, fairly expensive to buy. I believe they are much like the ostrich and emu craze of a few years ago. Everybody was looking to make a fortune with them only to resort to turning them loose to run free after a few years. Horns and bleached heads will bring some money and I suppose the meat might be OK for hamburger. So from that perspective, go for it. So before all the longhorn folks jump on me, this is my opinion and I'm entittled to speak it. [/QUOTE]
