Ever since Jace learnt to walk, he has had no trouble putting bulls and heifers in their place. His central Queensland family owns a stud of about 90 registered Texas longhorn cattle.
Help keep family & friends informed by sharing this articleLeading a half-tonne cow with giant horns around a paddock is all in a day's work for four-year-old Jace Lamb.Jace, and his siblings, Johannah, 7, Jack, 11, and John, 14, are fourth-generation cattle handlers on a 6,475-hectare property between Banana and Theodore in central Queensland.
"You test yourself, it teaches you a lot of lessons because life's not going to be easy and you're going to have struggles, you've just got to work through it," he said. "Most people think they're scary because they have horns, but they're actually quite friendly," Jack said.Months of tireless preparation went into the Texas Longhorns Australia 2022 show, where the N-Bar stud claimed several awards including Reserve Champion Cow, Champion Bull, Supreme Exhibit, Champion Junior Parador and Most Successful Exhibitors.
He said the animals had great longevity and the meat had "an unbelievably unique flavour", but the herd in Australia was not big enough to provide a constant commercial supply."It's a very high marbling meat, but they don't lay down a layer of cap fat on their carcass.
