I got a call from a cousin (who has no cattle background) this afternoon. She wanted to let me know that a friend of hers was bringing her a pair of yearling longhorns from TX.
We talked about health papers and vaccinations, keeping the bull away from the hfr until she was ready to breed them, just very general "oh my your getting cattle" conversation .
The more we talked I remembered a saying I have heard " You can take cattle; East, West, or South, but never North"
I'm used to real world working cows that get fuzzy in the winter. Will these long horns handle mid-west January when it's zero for a high or will they freeze to death up here?
Is there anything else that is unique about long horns? I always thought it would be neat to have a couple just for conversation starters.
Thanks everyone.
