Longhorns

The Longhorns

There are currently four Longhorn Cattle on the farm. They roam the long field that follows the front road, and several smaller fields (hard to see from the road) that bound the creek. While these cattle are indeed pets, especially Charlotte, they can be quite dangerous to be close to because they do not understand how long and pointed their horns are! One swish to get rid of a fly could cause some damage! So we admire them at a distance, that is, everyone but Andrew (although note is is on the other side of the fence!)

All four are females, although their horns are quite large! Charlotte is the only pure black one. In the early days of the farm there was a large herd of cattle. Charlotte was an abandoned calf who had to be bottle-fed, and she became part of the Mountain Quest family. The other three Longhorns are Buttermilk (White with black marks and legs); Chocolate (Brown with a bit of white accent); and Salt (Black with white dots on her rear).
