Are Texas Longhorns mean?
The Texas Longhorn of today has been bred selectively, not only for horn and color, but especially for a gentle disposition. Aggressive Longhorns should be culled from the gene pool. Keep in mind, however, that a frightened Longhorn will use his or her horns to defend itself. Generally Longhorns respond well to gentle handling. They are very intelligent animals. They can learn their names, and eventually can be called from the pasture by calling their name. They are truly one of God’s beautiful creations.
