[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 271467, member: 94"] We raise Longhorns, and yes, I would consider them a beef breed. As others have stated, the mainstream feedlot operations do not care for then because it takes longer to finish a Longhorn and they've got those massive horns. Out in the wide open, the horns aren't much of a problem, but once you get a big pen of them, those horns cause bruising and cuts to other animals. In my opinion, although Longhorn meat is much leaner, it is just as good as many of the other breeds. However, when the name of the game in the beef industry is to get a calf from birth to the plate in as quick a timeframe as possible, Longhorns don't really fit the bill in that respect. In general, they are not mean, but like any other breed, there are some that will put the hurt on you, given the chance. Those animals should be hamburger - no need to have cattle with bad temperments. [/QUOTE]
