Would like to hear from Texas Longhorn people. Would like to know the pros and cons of Texas Longhorns. Any and all information and feedback would be appreciated. Gary

A longhorn with huge horns going into a squeeze, just turns her head and fits them through, while some old idiot non-longhorn cow with 1/4 the amount of horn will go crashing in there and break one off.
Next you'll be telling me my Tulis are just plain coloured, polled Longhorns ;-)LonghornRanch":33y6q9st said:"tough hardy animals"..... I have seen longhorns pastured in cedar breaks gain weight. Longhorns are like billy goats.... can and will eat anything. Poison lvy, poison oak, sticker bushes.... trim all the trees. Other breeds would stave to death before eating some of the things longhorns like to eat. I have seen Longhorns eat catus!
