Maybe you should check out the carcass data produced by people using Pharo's bulls? It would refute the claims that these cattle are too small, too fat, too poor growers to make money. Most of the move to "bigger" cattle with higher frame scores has simply meant a move to longer legs and cattle...

Bizin, I think your neighbours were telling you some strange things. As a Scot myself I can tell you there are virtually no Highland cattle in Scotland that aren't bred to a Highland bull nowadays. I have never seen one with a welsh black or hereford calf although there may be someone, somewhere...

http://www.thorbardinranch.com These folks seem to be making a business of Highland cattle.

Here are a couple of Highland facts for those of you who know nothing about them (but still run them down) At the Range Livestock Substation, Manyberries, Alberta*, it was demonstrated that Highlands cross well with Hereford. First-cross steer calves exceeded the Hereford in growth rate and...

Well it's maybe a part Limo - there never was a black limo in France. Like most breeds in North America it has been a victim of mongrelisation. So you're both right it's a Limo and an Angus unless they used Galloway!

Are these cattle related to the "Tyrone blacks" developed by Walter Shortt(?sp) in Northern Ireland? If so they came not from a purely Friesian base but a Friesian/Charolais/Angus mix if I remember rightly.

I suppose it depends what your objective is - breeding better cattle or making money by "keeping up with EPD inflation". Personally I think commercial breeders will wise up to the con of EPDs that purebred breeders have used to market garbage to them. Talk about trash exposed by linebreeding -...

skcatlman, I think you need to be clear first on what you are calling linebreeding. Try reading "the basis of linebreeding" by Jim Lents as it gives an excellent account. Linebreeding by his definition is one animal never accounting for more than 50% of the blood in a son, daughter, grandson...

Here is the only picture we have of that Snowlander bull we have semen off. Sorry it's black and white. Also some Luing cows in February, wintering on native pasture with no supplementary feed, in the foothills SW of Calgary. No EPD'S, no paper numbers - just real cows doing a job, look at the...

Sorry Northern Rancher we don't have enough Luing females in the country to be using them for crossbreeding. A breeder in BC has already sold all his surplus 2007 heifer calves - and they aren't born yet! Frenchie, the Snowlanders are indeed an interesting story. A rancher by the name of...

The Luing is 75% shorthorn 25% Highland. The breed was established through a linebreeding program based on these percentages so they don't vary. Having said that in Canada we have an upgrading register where a 7/8ths female or 15/16ths male is considered purebred. We are currently upgrading...

I know a bit about the breed - I'm the owner of the cattle and the website http://www.luingcattle.com! I would be happy to answer any questions you have on Luings.
