[QUOTE="TxStateCowboy, post: 155761, member: 2989"] TLBAA members, to true longhorn breed lovers, are known for rigging up their herd with crossbreeding. this goes back to the Butler herd, the "almighty longhorn savior"- sorry, but its known that butler didnt care if his LH crossed with his brahma, which likely happend. you want to know what [b]real[/b] longhorns look like, check out [url=http://www.ctlr.org]http://www.ctlr.org[/url] this organization is dedicated to the original, pure longhorn breed. For the longhorn qualities to be maintained, not exploited, as some do with their "massive horn growth longhorns" that look like watusi horns(check my pic to left and compare with top modern longhorns) on a brahma neck and head. Breeding a decade for a horn length and nothing else is a waste of time, driven by greed and short-sighted foolishness. Many "Modern" longhorns are quite a joke in my opinion. Big horns, yes, but as for keeping the only useful tool (their native genetics, hardiness and longevity) handy for cattlemen to use, the TLBAA does little besides promote short-sighted fads. [/QUOTE]
