Horned Cattle trouble shooting

[Rob30]

Well it looks like I am going to be getting some more cattle. The problem is they are all a horned variety. The cows are highlands, and one short horn. The butt is a welsh black.
My question is what type of feers do you use for horned cattle? I have heard of people useing tomb stone type feeders. However it is more likely I will be making something myself out of wood or steel.

tombstone feeders work very well with horned cattle, and can be made easy out of metal or wood

I don't use anything special for my Dexters. They turn their heads and go right in.

Highlands have longer horns, though. That's part of the beauty of them. However, one of my neighbors de-horned his Highlands, because they were too aggressive at the feeder.

Our "pasture" longhorns (See, guys...I'm learning) eat their grain from a trough. Once the bull got his head stuck under it..lifted it up and swung it around for an hour or so. Eventually he freed himself. They seem to know where their horns are, for the most part, and are good at maneuvering them.

They eat their hay out of a horse-style round bale holder - no problems.
