[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4126"] I've dealt with exactly one Texas Longhorn. His horns were 4feet from tip to tip and I had to dehorn him. My muscles still remember the burn from that job--I sawed them off with wire. It was a few years ago...so I'm not the best judge of their temperment. For me, for 4H, you want the child to be competitive and have a quiet animal. Perhaps shorthorn would be a good choice. Simmental (most bloodlines) are also good. Murray Greys are very quiet, but I don't know how well they'd do. Brahman etc cattle don't have any numbers in my area, so I'm not for or against them. The ones I saw at Houston looked good from the side but disappeared from behind...not my kind of cattle at all. I guess I haven't helped at all....sorry! V [/QUOTE]
