How are big horns valuable what am I missing here? Can't eat them so what is it? Some dick measuring contest for cowboys?

The TLMA World Championship is a horn measuring event with careful detail to tip to tip measurement and total horn. Measurements are calculated to 1/16th of an inch by a team of experienced horn masters. This event has built momentum for many years and has great influence on Texas Longhorn market popularity. In recent years Texas Longhorn cattle have sold for amounts above $150,000, and many were sporting record wide serpentined spreads.

I'm curious what your fascination is with Longhorns.

They don't produce as high quality beef as Angus, albeit they are a leaner carcass.

If lean beef is the aim then Piedmontese is the superior breed. I'm biased as Piedmontese is the breed I plan to build a herd of. For what I value there's just not a better breed.

I have a good friend that loves Longhorns and has begun using the hides to make belts and cushions and other leather products after they're processed.

Maybe it's my hate for the U. of Texas but I've never understood with the obsessions with that breed.
