Ol Chief, I wasn't trying to poke at you either but just wanted to show David a Texas Longhorn in pic below. We use to have some registered Longhorn cows and bulls but like you said it was tough to make a living just raising those and docs and lawyers wanting in on it jacking prices up for registered ones that weren't even true to the original breed so we got out of that. We use to buy a lot of thin Longhorns from New Mexico next door and breed them to a Saler bull and ended up with some registered Salorns at one time but interest fell off in that as a registered breed but then we had easy calving with that cross and a good red or colored yearling that would market better yet we still had some that looked too much like longhorn and got docked at market and no reason for that with good lean beef. Wish I had some of them now to graze all these weeds coming on in corrals after rains we finally got this past week. :) We never had much trouble finding pastures for them clean up sometimes since the bulls would kill rattlers and move the herd for you and cows would clean up yucca cactus.
