[QUOTE="andybob, post: 1469833, member: 2703"] Bullitt The traits of high fertility and early maturity are common to most "unimproved" breeds, I often wonder if the Longhorn had been selected for more commercial conformation within their environment, if they would have been the base breed for todays commercial ranchers rather than their having been crossed out to "improve" the ranch herds of yesteryear. Looking at the breeds developed from native African cattle, both Sanga (Taurus Afrikana) and African Zebu which are popular both as adapted breeds for ranch conditions, and as part of crosses and composites breeds depending on market demands and personal preferences of the ranchers.
