Why these Queensland kids spend hours with their Texas longhorn cattle 🐮🤠 | ABC Australia

Leading a half-tonne heifer with giant horns around a paddock is all in a day’s work for four-year-old Jace Lamb. Jace, and his siblings, Johanna, 7, Jack, 11, and John, 14, are fourth-generation cattle handlers on a 16,000-acre property between Banana and Theodore in central Queensland.
The Lambs run a commercial cattle operation of 1,000 Brahman and European breeders and own a stud of about 90 registered Texas longhorn cattle. All four children have their own “sweet-natured”, horned animals to break in, take care of and lead.
Longhorns are “a niche market” commonly used for display and rodeos in Australia, but the Lambs make the most of their “hobby” by showing, breeding and selling them.
The siblings show their Brangus Stud at regular agriculture shows, but months of tireless preparation goes into exhibiting at the Texas Longhorns Australia Annual Show.
The N-Bar stud claimed a suite of awards at the 2022 event including Reserve Champion Cow, Champion Bull, Supreme Exhibit, Champion Junior Parador and Most Successful Exhibitors.
