I use to keep English Longhorns for a number of years and the price of an average run of the mill Longhorn really is mirrored by the current commercial price of cattle today. None show animals are quite reasonably priced.
I started with two young heifers and built up. Young stock are obviously a longer term investment but are obviously cheaper to buy.
