| PolarBear:
As someone who has been in the cattle industry for decades, I wouldn’t touch a longhorn with a 20’ pole. They are definitely not the breed to start off with. They get hung up in fences and equipment, are hell on trailers, are hard to handle, etc. If you have a lot of land and do not plan on handling them or letting kids around them, go for it. Otherwise not a great choice and the beef is not great. |
| nwwanderer:
Decent yard ornaments, as stated, tough to care for and slow to produce marginal beef. Unless you are dead set on wide horns you might look at speckled park or angus lowline if you want something different. |
| jackelope:
I’m going with these guys. |
| Machias:
You might contact these folks. They are in North Idaho and advertise on Craigslist quite often. https://spokane.craigslist.org/grd/d/registered-texas-longhorn-cattle/7504455383.html |
| Buckmark:
I would do a few highlanders, cool looking and are not bad to eat, take a bit longer than some breeds to be ready to butcher. Might also look at Dexters, not real fancy looking but good temperment from my experience with them and eat well. |
