    What a great story, I’ve never thought about Texas Longhorns being in Australia before. It’s a credit to these (ranchers) that they are breeding a world class herd. Also bringing other bovine species to their (ranch) is truly amazing! πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ
  • I've heard that since longhorns were wild for so long, they a hearty and will feed on bushes and branches besides just grass.
  • The village I grew up in, Lowton St Mary's Lancashire UK, one f the two butchers shops (Binhalls?) had a giant pair of horns on display.
  • What a great video fantastic to watch well done to this couple for all their hard work and dedication πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
  • Interesting that theyre all purebred Texas longhorns, i wouldve guessed some of them were more Ankole than longhorn
  • Pray for me my dream to get the nice farm🚜🐾🌻🌾🌞❀

  • I hope they don't select for longer horns until the cattle can't lift their heads.
