[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 198397, member: 9"] Bez... didn't mean to sound "defensive"...I'm anything but that (in reality). Issue is that there is MUCH to learn from cattle people of all breeds... bovines are bovines. If I appear defensive it is not about Longhorns... it is about "intolerance" of those who bash other's breeds. :) We butcher one of our Longhorns every year. Love the taste and lack of backfat. Lean, yes. We by choice eat a lot of ground beef... and roasts, steaks. I'm a picky meat eater and can't stand obvious fat on my fork... thus, Longhorn beef highly appeals to me. We've sold a number of bulls and some lease-outs of LH's to area commercial ranchers. Some had been having 20+ % losses and a lot of pulling (Charlolais, Brangus, Hereford, Angus, Beefmaster, and mixed breeds); and, these area ranchers are considered to be "successful" and long-term ranchers. The ranchers that have used our Longhorn bulls have not had to pull ANY calves and haven't lost or damaged any of their heifers or cows. Enuf said... ;-) We've updated our website with some new pictures. Yes, our calves hit the ground running at just a few hours old, and are up and nursing in less than an hour. (Only lost 1 here in past 5 years...was breech birth, mama didn't breed back... she went to sale barn). Yea!! We finally got some slow rain... almost .8" so far and more forecast over next 24 hours :D [/QUOTE]
