[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1814241, member: 40587"] Most of them, even most of them today, didn't have the freakish 10' spreads like you see. Most looked about like those 2 posted by [USER=42704]@Ranch Hand[/USER] above. Yeah, you had to throw a bg loop, but those ;like that can be roped all day by someone who has experience. But, Longhorns are probably the quickest and fastest of the cattle. Booger Barter used to put a couple of "prize steers" in the draws at his ropings. If you drew one and could head it, it would pay $10k. These were young Longhorn steers, not Corriente, and they were rockets! Very few ever even got close enough to throw a loop. I only saw two caught, and the header rode an OTT appendix horse with a 108+ SI in the 1l4 mile. Not only are Longhorns the fastest take off and fastest top speed, but they can run a longer distance before playing out than other cattle. But in the last 40 years, I have never seen any LHs that wild. Most, at least around here, are as docile as dairy cows. [/QUOTE]
