a year makes.... Festus as a yearlin', and then as a two-year old......
Does he know he is fixing to be a hood ornament?
That poor bastard and those f'n horns.....lol
Second pic is cool!
That, is one longhorn steer!
Good thing you don't have woods he needs to travel through!
Myself, having been the guest on a cow's head, then her back, then being rolled about on the ground.
I much prefer polled cattle, a cow's head has a lot of hard bone!
Good looking Longhorn.....guy down the road has a small registered herd he runs on his little irrigated pasture......He sells a few here and there for 4h and ffa projects and goes to some big time registered sales.... Pretty sure it's just a fun hobby for him.
Not really related but I always wanted to run some corriente cows and sell the steers and heifers to all the team ropers around here....since I don't have a ton of pasture I think they would be more profitable than trying to put a gain on calves.... there always seems to be a good market for them especially in small lots since most of the time it's just local guys buying them for fun or little local jackpots.
When does he go to market?
Hunts takes him to the farmer's market every Saturday. He really likes the organic kale.
100 lbs of horn, 100 lbs of bone and 10 pounds of meat.
Sam, you dam sure know your cattle!
Good looking critter there, Hunts!
hardway-
I run some corriente cows on Angus bulls. No horns and they sell just fine around the 5-600lb. range. I like the solid colors so I don't get spots. I like the roper cows because they are mostly gentle and easy to handle.
