[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5851"] For the most part people don't "bash" breeds of cattle. Everyone has there preference and that determines what breed of animals they own. But, most importantly, the breed of cattle one ownes, if determined by what their goal is. If you don't have a goal, don't get in the cattle business. Examples: If growing horns is the goal or if you think longhorn meat is a health benefit and you have a consumer fine. For the feeder market it seems black has some advantage where I live in central Texas. My goal is to produce quality replacement cattle; to sell the females for a premium to partially offset the price dock I get for the steers. > 1. I have only heard about > Longhorns and not Beefalo.
