@alh9338, Maybe in a few years, your friend in Africa should possibly try crossbreeding Texas Longhorn bulls to Cape Buffalo heifers to see what he can possibly come up with.

Would you please make a video with details on raising grass fed longhorns for beef for those of us who raising our own cows to feed our families? When is the best time to butcher?

I like the way you are using the whole animal. How you are raising them and how they are kept track of. With all this Veganism being pushed, i support independent ranchers and farmers to have control and options over their lives and property. We need you. America needs you. We need each other and transparency. God bless you .

@66bigbuds, Brown Swiss would normally be raised for dairying. However, a Texas Longhorn bull mated with Brown Swiss heifers for their first round of calving.

I've been raising longhorns since 2011 in Oregon.. People scoff at them but quite frankly its the BEST beef I've ever eaten.. Along with them being really easy to handle and easy on fences. hides are not an option as no taxidermy does them here and they are shipped off to tan at the tune of 600.00 and up to have it tanned..SAdly as Longhorns have the most beautiful hides... I tried to do one hide myself however and way too much intensive... We have loads of European mounts and one full head neck mount. (cost was 1800.00 for the full head neck mount) People still don't get it here and I don't think ever will.. Which is fine as we are not a production farm.. AND love our longhorns for pets, meat and decoration!..

You were channeling Greg Judy on that grass fed genetics. If you would have done a close up and mention of the bull’s testicular tissues you would have gone full Greg Judy. 😊

We do registered Longhorns but they are the only cow you can sell everything. We do beef cattle as well but everything we run are registered we sell bulls and heifers and hardly ever sell for market unless say it’s a cow that’s got problems or if one breaks a leg or so had a momma cow break a leg on her calf and left it so we raised it and got it fixed up can selling her registered sold her for food. If a cow ever breaks a leg even tho it heals after you get it set and cast it they aren’t good for breeding and your risking a lot on the cow breaking down over time and weight… but your correct I don’t see them as a no money I personally make more off Longhorns then my beef cows if your going cow for cow… I can get faster money and move more when it comes to beef cattle but I make more per cow with Longhorns because everything is used and worth big money… and we have bucking cattle we can normally make pretty good on but not everyone of them make it to be professional bucking stock

Ahhhh! So this explains why my 3 half-longhorn bottle calves, together, eat HALF the "calf muslie" that my half-angus bottle calf does. He's growing like a monster, compared to them, but they're happy with grass and [dried] grassy lucern. All of them are half dairy, but that angus x just LOVES to eat grain!!! I keep thinking that the Longhorn genetics are definitely the ones for tough times! Our two longhorn ladies are SO SOLID on 100% grass. We want to put a Longhorn over our new Murray Grey, even though the offspring won't get horns. In Australia Longhorns are pretty rare, but we're sold on them, too!

Lease then to rope at $35/hd per month until they aren’t good. Kick them out on grass until they hit 900lbs. Then grind them and sell the beef for $4/lb. Make sure you have good fences. 😂

Ancestors of the Corriente cattle interbred with the cattle of Anglo-Saxon settlers pouring into Texas, and their offspring were the original foundation stock of the Texas Longhorn.

Look on the bright side, if she has an all white bull calf sired by a registered Texas Longhorn bull, and when he gets old enough, he’ll probably help to possibly reintroduce the horned factor into the calves he sires when mating with first calf Charolais heifers.
