Texas longhorn cattle have a reputation of being fierce and they certainly can be. A Texas longhorn cow knows the exact point of the tip of her horn with no need for a tape measure. We give our Texas longhorn cows space as they calve. They will protect their babies and those of other no matter what and so we do not approach mothers on foot for days after they have calved. If a longhorn shakes its horns at you, it means business! We respect their strength. Their horns are quite intimidating to look at and can certainly cause harm but for the most part, longhorn cattle are not aggressive.\u00a0\u00a0All the same, longhorn cattle have their own personalities that vary from each other, just like us humans.<\/p>\n

To answer the question, are Texas longhorn cattle dangerous, \u00a0consider that some have their quirks and some are more trusting than others.<\/p>\n
