[QUOTE="lazyhill, post: 25049, member: 256"] Thank you for the compliment. I don't try to justify longhorns on these forums because they get bashed so much. Longhorns have their place and I have to admit it is mostly with people that either have more money than they reasonably know what to do with or people who want some pets for an "ag" exemption. I also sell a lot of longhorns to older ranchers that want to still have cattle but go into semi-retirement. In our breeding program, we focus on longhorns that have body as much as horn, color, disposition, etc. Too many longhorn breeders will buy and sell sorry looking bodied cows. To me, it just isn't right to have a cow that doesn't look like a proper cow. I've sold a few longhorns to several of my neighbors over the past couple of years and they are always amazed at how big the longhorns are compared to their angus or mixed breed cattle. The longhorns, however, are clearly more lean than their others. As a side note, I also run commercial purebred brangus cattle and that probably influences many of my longhorn decisions. [/QUOTE]
