[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 313636, member: 3162"] If you have a pasture full of cows that are 1/2 LH and 1/2 beef breed, put them with a really good long eared beef bull and you get a 3/4 beef offspring nursing a good momma that can thrive naturally in this hot environment and lose darn few calves. In order to get a 1/2 LH, you have to start with a full. Driving through Neri last night I saw pastures full of them. I don't own any LH influenced cattle and never have in the past. Hence, I am not one of those LH people you originally referred to. What I do understand is what cattle do in this Texas climate. You have to have something with ear or else LH to make enough nickels to float. It is inherently obvious that folks north of here absolutely have never seen short eared cattle panting worse than dogs in pure misery on consecutive 100 degrees days. They hang out in water holes or in the shade while others are foraging. Then there is the parasite resistent factor too. We have serious fly and other problems here. [/QUOTE]
