| Why choose Longhorns for MY Agricultural Exemption??? Because it just makes sense! If you live in a city like Houston or Austin and only visit your ranch on weekends or are seeking the best livestock to qualify for an AG EXEMPTION, the Texas Longhorn was made for you. Of all cattle, the Texas Longhorns do the best job of taking care of themselves when the owner is not around. Cattle are not native to the Americas. They were brought to the new world by European settlers. The original ones came on Columbus’ second voyage. Some of the cattle got loose and roamed the wilds of Northern Mexico and Texas for 300 years. They developed into a very self-sufficient and hardy breed with longer than normal horns. When the cattle were re-domesticated by Texas settlers in the early 1800’s they were named Texas Longhorns. The cattle drives of the late 1800’s were made up of Texas Longhorns and they made famous the unique lifestyle of the Texas or American Cowboy. Texas Longhorns are known for their ease of calving and 97% of “first calf” heifers deliver healthy calves without the assistance of man at or before their 2nd birthday. This is not true of most other cattle breeds. Many other breeds require assistance, especially cows having their first calf. This necessitates owners to be present during calving season. If you only get to ranch on weekends this unique Texas Longhorn characteristic is very important. Texas Longhorn mothers are naturally attentive and protective of their calves. Loss to predators is minimal. Many owners of other breeds of cattle run a Texas Longhorn with their herd to help protect the calves from predators. Raising Texas Longhorn cattle can be profitable because of the low overhead in maintaining a Texas Longhorn herd. Texas Longhorn cattle eat a wider range of grasses, plants, and weeds than do most other cattle. Texas Longhorn owners are able to use pastures that require less fertilizer and weed killers than owners of other breeds of cattle. The Texas Longhorn is naturally hardy, disease resistance, and their hide is thicker to better resist biting pest. For these and other reasons they require less veterinary care. This savings adds more to your bottom line and saves your time. The Texas Longhorn produces a very lean beef (more meat less fat per ounce). Studies at major universities have shown that Texas Longhorn beef is significantly lower in cholesterol than other breeds of beef cattle. A Texas Longhorn, who was raised on grass without chemicals or supplements, produces meat that is lower in cholesterol than a skinless chicken breast. The Texas Longhorn owner can feel good knowing he is producing a heart healthy product for consumption. Many weekend ranchers enjoy guests and visitors from the city. City dwellers are always impressed by the color patterns and the horn pread of these magnificent cattle. The Texas Longhorn is a walking work of art hand painted by Mother Nature herself! Visitors stand for hours admiring and taking pictures of the cattle. Other breeds of cattle that are solid colored and de-horned do not provide this type of visual pleasure to visitors, guests, or owners. I hope this gives you a brief insight into why Longhorns are the livestock breed of choice for the weekend rancher.
