What a great story, I’ve never thought about Texas Longhorns being in Australia before. It’s a credit to these (ranchers) that they are breeding a world class herd. Also bringing other bovine species to their (ranch) is truly amazing! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@blakek3194]

Texas Longhorn breeder here. Some of those are clearly Watusi. But, the Longhorns that are in the video are gorgeous

[@rlyman111]

I am glad they are carrying on the great line of Texas Long Horns. Thank you.

[@SmedleyDouwright]

I've heard that since longhorns were wild for so long, they a hearty and will feed on bushes and branches besides just grass.

[@sBaum]

You can tell those blokes are loved..nice job folks!!

[@rerun8950]

As a Texan I am happy for these folks. Australians are who I would expect to do it too!

[@thelonghornchannel3092]

Love this story and the cattle! Looks like longhorn breeders are pretty much the same all over the world!

[@alisonshanahan1237]

Adding to my bucket list ❤

[@bluzcompany2293]

The Texas long horn have their lineage in the Spanish Florida cattle...

[@adrielparsons7790]

I have a herd down in central west nsw great animals to work with

[@PaulRiley-ev9it]

The village I grew up in, Lowton St Mary's Lancashire UK, one f the two butchers shops (Binhalls?) had a giant pair of horns on display.

[@jamescarnes5550]

Beautiful cattle

[@rmw250]

Truly Lovely. 👍

[@GrahamSmyth-um6uh]

What a great video fantastic to watch well done to this couple for all their hard work and dedication 😀😀

[@Dedicated_to_Jesus_downunder]

Such glorious creatures! So beautiful to see cows with their horns unlike the wickedness going on in the meat and dairy industry burning the horn buds to their skulls. May many more farmers start to appreciate all the diverse breeds of cattle and let them keep their beautiful horns and have a better quality life like these ones do.

[@MichaelHolt-g1d]

Great story! Wish I could go to Australia and visit such a wonderful place! Very glad to see the longhorn breed and the western heritage being kept alive, congrats to Michael and Lynda for thier dedication and hard work, it's certainly paying off now!! Would love to learn more about thier cattle station(ranch)

[@roryscantlebury1559]

Beautiful ❤

[@LaurenceDay-d2p]

The climate of Australia is also ideal for game ranches.

[@VaughnLCook]

Hook-em, Aussies! I love what you're doing. It would be a dream to visit from Ohio, US.

[@Winchesterosteve]

Pray for me my dream to get the nice farm🚜🐾🌻🌾🌞❤

[@ibo_show_uz]

Good luck to everyone 🤝

[@SC-vw1nx]

Wow amazing story

[@raclark2730]

Very nice, the decerning eye will also notice they take good care of their land in general.

[@TjakaErasmus]

Reminds me of the local Afrikaner and Nguni. South Africa. Also the Ankole from Central Africa.

[@deanharris7149]

Awesome!

[@jackthelab6755]

Fairfield City Farm has a couple on the outskirts of Sydney Awesome animal

[@Clarice-rp7mh]

Those cattle, are a species straight from TEXAS. The Australian herds would not exist otherwise. Your title is wrong because this article would not exist, if not for this magnificent TEXAS breed.

[@texaspapa9445]

Texas ain’t South or West we’re just Texas

[@raphlvlogs271]

can you make massive mead drinking horns out of longhorn cattle horns?

[@fjb4932]

Good on you mate ! ☆

[@robertopena8645]

It looks like Texas

[@Gems-of-Hope-Rocks]

0:18 The one with the super thick horns, in the rear, Looks like a Watusi, not a TX longhorn. Edit: To correct timestamp

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

Interesting that theyre all purebred Texas longhorns, i wouldve guessed some of them were more Ankole than longhorn

[@trapperensor6608]

Your right some got that Watusi in them

[@blakek3194]

some are Watusi

[@ezrabrook3993]

Kool ❤

[@tpen891]

Hate ABC, but love the video.

[@bobchannell3553]

I hope they don't select for longer horns until the cattle can't lift their heads.

[@fabrisoto]

👏🏽🌹👏🏽🌹👏🏽🌹

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Definitely.

[@WadeKratzmann]

Plant a treat

[@fredkaijuka7717]

Stolen from Ankore in Uganda.

[@raclark2730]

Many long horn breeds also existed in North Africa and Southern Europe. The Spanish took them to the Americas and these people got them from there. Stealing from one source is a big accusation, you got any proof for that.

[@deforrest5611]

very big hats,and very big cattle.. cant deal with the hats

[@tommyshanks8375]

Those horns have no practical use…

[@raclark2730]

They act like radiators and shed heat.
