[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 638972, member: 615"] I would guess that Australia (or New Zealand, not sure which has more) would rank #3 in numbers of registered Texas Longhorns behind U.S. and Canada. But like you said, there aren't really that many down that way. Thanks for the compliments on her. Besides the production value she adds to our herd, I am glad that my boss allowed us to add her to our herd. The gentleman that bred and raised her, Bob Moore, was my grandfather (step-grandfather to get technical, but I always considered him a grandpa) and he has probably raised more World Champions that anyone else in the longhorn breed (though, I'd like to think we're catching up). He consigned the dam to this cow to a sale with the black and white cow still inside her. All along he thought it was a mistake to consign her to the sale, so he decided to P.O. and take her home (she went for a pretty hefty price, too and worked something out with the person who had the highest bid). That was in November, she calved in January, in March he told me that the cow he P.O.'ed had a heifer calf at side (black cow above) that was the most beautiful calf he'd ever had born on his property and could be the best he'd ever bred. She was the pride and joy of his breeding program. He was so proud of that cow. His last World Show was this past summer, and he was so happy to see that cow win. It was great. He passed away last October, and we have been fortunate enough to add a bull and two females from his program to ours. Ryan [/QUOTE]
