[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 21661"] Magpie/Sandy ---- I enjoyed your delightful post. I've never owned a longhorn and probably never will, but I can see that they do have some positive things to offer to a commercial cattleman and I'm not about to bash your breed or anybody else's. If I got one I reckon it would be more for just wanting a nice looking "ornament" and out of a sense of nostalgia for what the breed meant to so many of my fellow Texans (and Americans) back in the 1800's. I guess I understand the possible move towards solid colors; no doubt some folks like the solid colors and, for example, Shadow was a darn impressive looking bull. If you could come up with a line of black Longhorns bulls that consistently actually threw solid black calves I imagine you would find a few more buyers wanting to use them with commercial heifers! But strictly speaking for myself, I don't really care for the solids and if I ever got a LH I would sure like to have one of those colored up bulls like Gizmo, JK Creekmore, Overwhelmer, Super Bowl, etc. Best of luck to you and Bill.
