[QUOTE="Cole Cattle, post: 108283, member: 674"] My family has used steers, mostly longhorn and longhorn cross. My Grandpa started as a boy hauling drinking water and clearing fields. As an adult he broke several teams to drive, again hauling drinking water, selling to others and later he and my Dad would enter them in parades pulling a covered wagon. My Brothers and I have broke a few steers, mostly for parades and to keep the tradition alive. Haven't had any in about five years but hope to again to get the next generation interested. My wife and I attended a seminar in North Carolina in 2001, but have not put that knowledge to use yet. I would agree that this is mostly a NE activity. The guy that taught the class in NC was from Up State NY and he taught driving in 4H up there. As far as I can tell there is very little market for broke steers anywhere else. [/QUOTE]
