did the tourist thing...
Field Lab field trip today to Lajitas
to see the worlds largest longhorn collection.
In the last picture, the longhorn on the right with the downward horns. There is a longhorn like that in a field near where I live. I keep wanting to get a picture of it, but everytime I see it I don't have a camera. The horns on it hang nearly to the ground.
106˚ — hope they had the ac blowin' to give you a little respite from the sizzle. Sounds like the Yates family really worked to maintain the longhorn bloodline as best they could. Prior to your longhorn tutorial, this was the only Yates I'd heard of in the cattle business - wonder if they were kin?;-) Rowdy head em up
What fun!
ReplyDeleteThat will definitely be on the list of things to see in the fall!

ReplyDeleteKinda sad to see these animals as wall decor.

ReplyDeleteMe either. Something useful yes, like black powder horns, drinking horns, etc... I guess it is the Native American side of me.
