I did not mean to diss "real steers". After all they are what most people think of when someone says Longhorn...big beautiful steers. Congratulations on Hullabaloo! Kenn,

Don't diss real trophy steers that way! Such a cow may be serving as a 'steer' in the pasture, but such a cow is only a shadow of a 'real' steer. She certainly won't have the size or the horn of a true "trophy steer"; in most cases she won't have the color of a true champion trophy steer either. FYI. Hullabaloo just went Grand Champion steer at Fort Worth and Houston at five years of age (80' horns, 1600 lbs, and tri-color brindle). Kenn Russell,
