Must be a local thing...probably refers to any animal so worthless that the only thing they are good for (for ANY breed) is to grind into hamburger or dog food. At sale barns refers to "canner & cutter" animals.

Being a newbie, I would love to hear more on the Longhorn, as I'm planning to start a Longhorn program shortly ! There's got to be a B.S. Forum elsewhere !! :tiphat:

Alot of longhorn cows will raise a decent calf breed to a Char or Limi bull, seen them sell right up there with with other calves. And them longhorn cows are mighty cheap to keep.

Funny that you should mention that Red Bull... My herd is getting long in the tooth and come August I am gonna pull the trigger and sell all the cows.... Longhorns and Longhorn crosses are one of the breeds of cattle that I am considering getting.....Question for you Longhorn breeders or anyone that might have some know how....How do Longhorns respond to have those horns cut off or tipped

[How do Longhorns respond to have those horns cut off or tipped

I never have done it, but I cant see it being diferent than any other cow breed. Last year I put an angus bull on some of my longhorns and they came out black and poled, and they didnt take such a beating at the sale barn.

I know there is someone on here that has a cleanup or heifer bull who is a tipped longhorn ...

We've had a few bulls tip their horns, no problems once healed up. Once had a steer break his horn about 4in from the skull, cut both off about 3 in from the skull and he was fine. Had one cow break her horn in half, she was fine. Also, had cow where the outer most horn cap came off. Healed up, she was fine shortly.

I've not seen any long-lasting effects of horn damage in cattle. Once healed, they are back to normal

My only comments are that as long as it is:

Your money
Your satisfaction
Your cows
Your pleasure

As long as you are happy, then I'm happy for you.

I know farmers that are using homozygous polled Charolais bulls on Longhorn cows.
Knocks the horns and spots off the calves, and they grown well with muscle.

And TexasBred, I always heard it as "I'd rather have a sister working in a cathouse, than a sister attending Texas A&M."
But, pretty good adaptation, gave me a smile.

Frankie used to have a dehorned Longhorn as a gomer bull, but I'm pretty sure he went to hamburger heaven.

http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=56206 About halfway down the page Grubbie has a pic of his longhorn that he tipped. You could always ask him.

We've had several longhorn gomer bulls. But we get them as weaned calves and have them dehorned when they're young. They don't know they're supposed to have horns. I'd think that even tipped horns will be a problem if the rest of the herd is polled.
