Tex: and THIS is why we can't have nice things!

[@RLSCS]

How can an animal that is so big and dangerous be so gosh darn cute? I love Tex. When you show close ups of him, I wish I could give him a kiss on the forehead, at the same time, I would be terrified of being in his pasture 😂.

[@Charlotte-MS2TX]

🤣 I LOVE TEX!! Lester, have you ever tried inner tube patches? Inner tube patches and that cover... it's more work for you, but how can you deny THE BIG GUY!! And of course you're right, he is gorgeous and the prettiest longhorn I've ever seen 😍

[@dawnconner6123]

ps, TEX is a beautiful creature. out in the country years ago, i was looking out a window at the meadow across the road, and a lady was walking out away from her house, and she was whistling and calling out. she got about 1/2 way across and here came a big guy much like tex. it was the singularly best thing ive ever seen that involved a human farmer, and an animal like a bull. he didnt have any horns, but he was HUGE!! he came running like a darned dog. he was so glad to see her.

[@chrisp4962]

Lester, I'm one of those "heavy folks..." and i just laughed my butt off when you said that! So, just sayin", that's why I watch you guys! I love your sense of humor! Keep it up please. 🤣

I think the only thing to save a ball from Tex's horns is kevlar or chainmail lol x

Chainmails weakness is puncture. It takes slashing motions- but it’s weak with a puncture.

It needs to be kevlar is exactly what I said when I saw the cover.

Lester. Have ever thought to approach a ball manufacturer about make a ball that Tex can't break. Like those hard rubber balls that are solid.

He has received a couple of those from folks who follow the page but they are small, he likes the really big ones.

Someone needs to get him a big red ball that tigers and lions use to play with. Surely he can't tear one of those up. They are easy to find online

[@Nirrrina]

If I remember right they're about $200-300. But between everyone it should be easy enough to get. If it can survive lions, tigers & polar bears surely it can survive Tex. If not then the company needs to go back to the drawing board.

[@trellenrussey6293]

Hey...great idea...let's start a "big cat ball" fund for Tex! Didn't know they made special ones for lions and tigers and such...but good idea to try...and maybe the company could make a special very thick one? There are enough of us who love Tex to get one fairly quickly...❤❤❤
