@rbodell thats a great story and you seem to be an expert at cattle care. But if you havnt figured yet i just want to have the longhorns that closely resemble the ones from 1800s. I dont no if they will ever really resemble those brutes again but thats my goal to bring the old time longhorns back best I can. Ive talked to ranchers throughout the south west that still raise longhorns the old way on the range and they give me hope. Dont get me wrong but if you others want to make pets of longho
@dav61474 I did not inherit a farm. I worked my ass off for 10 years to save up enough money to buy some land to raise cattle. Clearly youve never got the chance to ride a good horse in pursuit of wild free spirited cattle running for liberty. Best feeling in the world.
Dear friends greetings. Have you read: The Lord Christ Jesus Was A Vegan and The Christian Vegan Revised Psalms both books by Saba? If not we suggest you do. All farm animals should not be exploited, nor killed for food but loved, respected and kept alive. Human beings should not breed animals either but serve Christ in them. Please go Christian Vegan for the sake of God's lasting Kingdom.
All i can think of is arm roast, chuck roast, tenderloin, burger, short chuck ribs, mignon, kc strip, PRIME RIB, pectoral chicken frys, brisket, skirt steak, flat iron, top round, bottom round, sirloin tip, poor boy steaks, mock tenders, suet, eye of round, tri tip, oxtails, tripe, top sirloin and more burger. I'm a butcher boy and my knife's hungry lol.
@1redifredi I understand where your coming from. but my goal in raising longhorns is to replicate as closely as I can the longhorns that ranged Texas in the late 1800s. and those cattle were nowhere near the weight of a modern longhorn. for some ranchers I suppose they want their longhorns beefier. I just think that a true longhorn is one that lived totally independent of man in the wilderness.
Such a shame to see what the longhorn breed has come to be. people are ruining the breed by breeding them too fat or for excessively long horns. also there caring for them too much. my longhorns have never been doctored, receive no food, water or shelter other then what they can find for themselves out here in the Nevada rangeland. sure they weigh less then the cattle in this video but they are what a true longhorn is. a strong, hardy, agile, flighty, fast, skinny as a rail cow
@NingaGinga22 I agree. I remember what longhorns looked like when I was a kid. Now they look like the typical beef cow instead of the incredible survivors that they became legendary for being. Just as quarter horses have been so bred towards muscle mass that their spines disappear into the flesh to the point that is often difficult to keep a saddle on them, so the legacy of the longhorn is being lost to breeders going for a "look" . The breed is being lost forever... shame...
@NingaGinga22 - I'm not sure that I agree. I've never owned or bred Longhorns but I think it's safe and logical to say that thrifty cattle on good feed will make a more finished looking product. These cattle have been straight bred without any weird out-crossing and they don't have the gobs of fat or muscle that hang on the show cattle of other European, beef breeds.
@1redifredi - Show me evidence that they no longer have qualities like easy calving, good milking, don't make good mothers or that a small easy keeping cow can't efficiently raise a nice big calf - or that for crossbreeding the bulls don't produce easily delivered babies from young heifers or thrifty, gaining steers and I'll come buy your skinny cattle.
In short I don't think you're actually observing a genetic trend but instead just better feeding and showcasing
@NingaGinga22 I have a PET longhorn cow. She lives in my yard, not a pasture. She is very smart and gentle. A handicapped lady who lives here visits with her and she nuzzles for attention from her but very careful not to knock her down. Somebody told animal welfare I wasn't feeding here but when he looked at the round bale of coastal hay, 10 square bales of alfalfa, 1 bag each of sweet fed and feed, he said when he dies he wants to come back as my cow.
The grass fed ground beef is better because it is leaner. I like it much better for casseroles, tacos, chili, most anything like that. Grass fed steaks are tough. Never had one I enjoyed. Gotta have the fat marbling to get tender steaks.
You can do grass fed brisket, skirt steak, flank steak, etc, if you marinate slow roast and cut against the grain. Will be delicious then.

Do first time heifers need a small bull ?

Not if you AI. We usually put out a young bull with most of the first time heifers, but not always.
