I think I will just drop out of law school. There was a fellow in the Longhorn business who went to Longhorn sales and bought numerous cattle at auctions all over the nation. Two years later he had a complete dispersal selling all of the cattle he had acquired. I am of the opinion that many people fail in the Texas Longhorn business because they do not have the patience to raise Texas Longhorn cattle. For some reason they feel they can raise truly great cattle in the blink of an eye.
Many people refuse to commit to any kind of a long range endeavor.
In raising Texas Longhorn cattle there is a factor that many people have a problem with, it is called gestation. Once Red McCombs said the thing that bothered him the most about raising Texas Longhorn cattle was waiting a little over nine months to see the next calf. Texas Longhorn production is something that requires patience. Gestation is not going to change. A cow is normally only going to have one natural calf each year.
