David in Wales Iam sorry to have jumped the gun concerning your full grown Longhorn.I have just scrolled down and viewed the previous photo of your nice calf.I also was not aware of an English Longhorn breed. Hats off to you for helping to preserve a breed in danger of disappearing. Our Texas type were in danger of dying out when in 1927 the U S government allocated some money to save whatever could be found.They were able to locate 27 animals. The rest is history.Now we have a breeders association and thousands of this great and very durable breed.I must admit that it very difficult to show a profit with our Longhorns due to their leaness.Though The meat flavor is good, on average there is usually only about forty pounds of fat on an eight hundred pound animal.In general they are very gentle and quiet.If I ever find a nasty one she is shipped ASAP.Regards

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.

There is a fellow here in Virginia that has 2 of the English Longhorns defiitely a different
breed from the Texas Longhorn. The English LH is
a heavier beefier animal and a lot more docile than the Texas LH I have been around.
