Breed Guideline Chart-Updated

Updated with a few new expample photos on 1/4/11. Wondering what to look for when looking at a Texas Longhorn? The Texas Longhorn Breed Guidelines that were approved by the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of American in 1982 is a list of the traits and characteristics of Longhorn cattle, these should be considered the standards for the Texas Longhorn Breed. These characteristics and/or standards should always be keep in mind when selecting cattle. To aide new and established breeders in their ability to recognize these traits I have compiled a PDF file that contains photographic examples of these breed traits and characteristics. The photos are examples of desirable, objectionable and undesirable Longhorn characteristics. I will be adding more photos as they come available. I hope this material will be of assistants to all who have an interested in maintaining the traits and characteristics that have allowed this great breed to prosper for years.
