[QUOTE="WildAcresFarm, post: 648488, member: 11023"] Thank you! I appreciate that! And yeah, I've noticed that. Every Longhorn breeder I've met has been kind-hearted, but I know lots of dissaproval from other breed breeders. And to the purpose of them - I said in my first post - I do not have the acrage for full sized cattle, and I personally love Longhorns. So since, with the market being the way it is and I cannot afford to purchase more land, I got into the minis. Texas Longhorns are a historic and wonderful breed. I know many ranches that simply breed them to show them and just to have them, not harvest them. So the minis serve the same purpose to me as the full-sized do to those farms, to enjoy. Because what is life and farming without enjoyment? I have a quarter horse that I ride simply for enjoyment and a dog that I keep because I love her company. When I drive my truck up the road, my bull hears it and bellows out to me. People train Longhorns (the bigger ones) to ride, and claim they are just as smart a horses are. So why can't they posses the same love that horses do? Are all the people who raise horses simply to enjoy, pointless? [/QUOTE]
