[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 658162, member: 440"] B&L Longhorn Ranch, You should know by now that all the black polled breeders on here love taking stabs at Longhorn cattle but...........I am a Longhorn breeder as well and we want horn on our cattle but also conformation. I see so many cheaters in this breed, I'm sure it's the same in other breeds, some of the horn chasers breed Watusi in to get bigger horns, some of the show people breed other beef breeds in to get bigger bodies. The Longorn definitely crosses well with other breeds, I've been crossing them with Beefmaster and Beefalos for quite awhile and oh yeah these crosses tatse very good, leaner beef with less fat and cholesterol.
