There are actually quite a lot more breeders of longhorns than there used to be. There is actually a guy somewhete in England breeding a very big herd for meat, he sells it commercial am sure. When we started farming we kept longhorn cattle, a nice medium herd of them and they were lovely placid creatures. We gave them up though to focus on the buffalo, a decision still regretted to this day, but had to be done. In some ways, we did want to keep both but couldnt manage; it was either one or the other and it was the cows sadly which had, had their day. We got them thtough the ancie t cattle of wales, I think it was. I have a friend who breeds them for meat, it is delish!

Hi ,  I was just supplying the silage and hay for them as I had surplus..., for a chap who lived at Braco Castle, they were just down past the service station at Balhaldie on the old shooting range, but he has now sold to a Dealer as the M.O.D wanted the land cleared, there would have been nearly 50 cattle in all, I think he started off with a few and ended up with a lot, not sure if he was a member of the society. He gave me a heifer and calf as a gift for looking after them, as I was involved with the actual feeding of them while he was at his paid job..lovely cattle ..at least I have 2 of my own.. I didn't let the young heifer go with the bull, thought I would give her a year off and get her condition a lot better, I plan to keep her female calf for breeding too but not sure, if I will be keeping the breeding pure..
