Longhorn tailhair makes great stone flies. Calico, my longhorn steer is nearing record status with his horm length. They're approaching 7 + feet from tip to tip, straight across, not around the curve. A steer with 8 feet horns sold for $20,000 up in Ft. Worth a couple years ago. I expect Calico to be at 8 feet by the end of this year. Will I put him in the long horns auction? Now way.
