[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 18655"] {Blackpower said} "No such thing as a "beefy" longhorn, this is why their carcass is already discounted on the rail. Longhorn and Dairy breeds have a much higher bone to muscle ratio than beef breeds do." Guess the person who asked about viewing "beefy longhorns" had a different definition than you do BP. Very few longhorns will be in the 1500 to 2000 lb range (as are some LH bulls). Most of the breeders shoot for the 900 to 1200 lb range on cows: BCS of 5 to 6. What I "think" the other poster meant was a "full-bodied" (not scrawny or rangy) Longhorn. Go to some of the major Longhorn producers' websites and see some of their stock! We don't try to grow a bovine that has only 6" of ground clearance...and, we don't have to trim away a lot of excess body fat at the butchers...lol. [/QUOTE]
