[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 554435, member: 94"] We raise Texas Longhorns, and calving ease is one of the traits I like about these cattle. I have not had to pull or assist with any births in the 6 years I have been looking after these cattle. They would be a good choice for someone who cannot see their cattle everyday. However, I agree with others that say a good infastructure is a must. If you are going to mess with cattle, I believe you should have good fences, some kind of working/loading pens, and a way to restrain the animals (i.e. headgate, chute, medina hinge). I treat our Texas Longhorn cattle like any other breed. They are vaccinated/wormed annually, and doctored on occassion. We had one heifer this year that was treated for lumpy jaw. We ran restrained her in a headgate, and lanced and drained the lump. She healed up fine, but it would have been quite a task without good working facilities. [/QUOTE]
