Saturday give us the chance to show off some interesting critters from our part of the world. Lots of folks think of my chosen critter when they think of Texas.
Post update: Here is a link that gives some of the history of our Texas longhorn cattle.
Yes ma’am, that is a trailer full of Texas Longhorns. You can even see the brand on the rear quarter. BTW a second trailer full was following this trailer.
And if you have the need for a Longhorn for your next shindig, well.
Here is the number to call! Additional info update, website here.
Not much tellin’ what you can see on a Texas farm to market road.
Thanks to Saturday’s Critters host Eileen.

Wow, those horns do a good job of taking up the whole trailer.

It’s fun to go to Fort Worth and the Stockyards, where the cowboys drive the longhorns down the street twice a day for visitors.

Never did that though I grew up in the area north of Dallas.

I have not heard any objections to the practice. More like show animals than anything.

They are impressive looking horns, but I am glad our cows don’t have them. 🙂

The Longhorn really looks stuffed in that trailer, they are so big.. I just wonder why people would want to hire Longhorns.. Great shots and critters! Thank you for linking up, have a happy weekend!

Since the Longhorn is a Texas symbol, they are used for publicity. I am certain these animals were being treated very well.

Longhorns for hire???!! No kidding. Poor critters. They are amazing creatures, aren’t they.

It seems the longhorns are a gentle breed that can be ridden. Guess not much different than riding a pony. And they are well cared for in exchange.

Yes, they are fairly common down here around the Austin area. I suspect these two trailer load of longhorns lead pretty good lives!

I never grow tired of seeing them. They’re all over the place of course, but since moving to Warda I’ve felt pretty pleased that there are some longhorns living not far from my house at all.
Although I’ve always wished our neighbor would add a longhorn (and horses) to his herd. He has a lot of cattle, and a donkey named “Hugs,” but no longhorns as of yet.

When we lived in Missouri there were a few up there, too. My nephew attends University of Texas in Austin. He is in the Longhorn band. Lots of Longhorn clothing in my families’ closets! Love the donkeys, too.

Now that’s something you don’t normally see, well at least not where I live. They sure have “long horns”
