As to the bad attitude.....one of my sisters raises them. She hand feeds most of them because they each think they are the favorite pet.
Range cattle probably don't make to good of pets.
Must be a reason Markets sell more Angus than Longhorn
Yes there is a market for it if you want a leaner meat. Myself I don't think I will be buying any for a PRIME Ribeye :wink:

The meat from a longhorn is similar to meat from a deer or an elk, says Bill. It is low in fat and cholesterol. "The longhorn is America's original grass-fed beef," he says.
Longhorns get little respect from traditional beef cattle markets, Sandy says, even though calves gain 2 pounds per day. "We were selling a few animals and getting canner and cutter prices, and then we were discounted from that rate for ears, horns, colors, and spots," she says.
