My biggest question is will they be hard to train for a beginner.

[KGerstner89]

Another thing I thought of was to train them to work in singles and as a team that way if there horns start to become a problem to work togather, then I could use them in singles or try to ride them like in that link OldKat gave me.

Horns can be manipulated in the direction that they go right so maybe instead of going out wide I thought I might could get them to go out then up, is that possable?

One thing I do know is that I want to eventually be able to drive my team from behind while sitting on a wagon or sled.

Thanks for the link I was having a hard time finding it but I did find a longhorn breeder in Pauls Valley, OK that has no website. I’ve lived in Burkburnett for almost 21 years now since I’m about to turn 21 on the 28th of this month and there is no other place like it. I’ll try and email the folks at the link you gave me and see what they can tell me while I’m still waiting for my book to get here. Thanks agian for the link.

Ya I live in Burkburnett witch is just north of Wichita Falls. The place I’ll be keeping them is on my Uncles farm, behind his farm is another one that has about 6 longhorns and 3 donkeys and about 2-3 months ago one of there younger bulls jumped the fence over into our property. Apparently they had just brought the bull and the donkeys were not being nice to it so it jumped the old torn up fence witch they had since then replaced. I’ll try to see if I can find that link. I’ve always liked longhorns since they look very nice. My uncle says that if it dont work out then they will become part of the beef herd that is on the 10 acres.

I was wondering is there any one around wichita falls texas that has an ox team, that I might could go watch and learn a few things from maybe?

[KGerstner89]

As far as I know there is alot of black and white dairy cattle around where I live, and the breed I would like to use and work with are Texas longhorns but when I think about it I worry if there horns will get to long to work side by side.
