[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1758333, member: 42731"] Seems like a lot of width to me. The reality is that when longhorns got to the railheads they had to be loaded in lanes just like today. If they were rocking giant wingspans back then, the lanes would have been much wider than we know they were. I know, I know, they can turn their heads to go through, but that's on an average longhorn not bred for heavy horns that are comfortable with people even today. A bunch of half-wild rangy cattle with eight foot hornspans would have not gone through those lanes like that. [/QUOTE]
