Hombre the Longhorn is such a spoiled steer....loves biscuits or bread for a treat....he is too strong to manage him anymore outside the pen, used to be able to stake him out in the tall grass in the bar ditches and he would behave himself....He has pulled some good ones....he got in my greenhouse and I kept hearing...boink...boink...he was too dumb to turn his head and ended up breaking pots deluxe...he managed to get a chair stuck on his horns, has had to be cut out of the feeding ring....has wrapped a tarp around his horns that he pulled off the dog kennel, managed to get a water hose wrapped around his horns...and he loves to move his water trough which we have replaced twice now....he is ornery, but he is all hubby's..and he lifted the roof off a neighbors dog house once, which we repaired...
and he managed to knock down that tree by pushing on it....we cannot keep the ring in his nose anymore....had to wedge his head in the Y of a tree the last time we replaced it....

Good looking steer if you keep him long enough he might grow some horns. Long horns are a little different then other cattle, they seem to be smarter. The red bull Dad had would shove T post down in the sand ridge the fence was on so he could get out. He also knew which horse he could out maneuver and which he couldn't when I went to get him in.

The last time we weighed him was almost two years ago....he weighed almost 2010 pounds and his horns were sixty inches across

Whoa! That's a BIG feller! Other than supplying entertainment and affection, does Hombre have any other farm duties? Sure is a fine lookin' boy.

I'm laughing about the bull in the china shop story, only that steer could sure destroy a greenhouse if he wanted. I wonder if the horns don't work against them in the wild too. Although I suppose there aren't wild & free bands of longhorns anywhere either.
