[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 151933, member: 9"] The people that are still stuck in the "pre-1950's" way of thinking have possibly not taken the time to look at the many present-day websites of Longhorn Ranchers who are producing heavy-bodied Longhorns! ANY bovine that was tossed out on an open range to fend for itself (regardless of breed) would probably look skinny, rangy, and BCS or 2 or 3. Agree...any POOR condition animal should bring low prices. The cattle industry is a highly competive, "my breed is best" mentality and the "died in the wool" cattlepeople that refuse to recognize the merit of ANY breed that is not the same as THEIRS...well...this type of primmadonna attitude only communicates where the person is coming from and/or what they are made of... Even though OUR ranch operation is raising Longhorns, there is no way that I would run down another breed or another rancher's operation. Everyone has their own program. We can learn "something" from everyone's program. Every breed of cattle (or other livestock) have their place on the market, climate, geographical area, country, food chain, etc. Our cattle market would indeed be in sad shape if from day one only ONE breed (or color) had been propagated and the others sterilized and left to extinction via natural selection and lack of replacement offspring. Every cattle breed has contributed something to the quality of livestock we enjoy today...it has taken hundreds of years to get where we are. It would be boring indeed to only have one breed (or race) of any animal (two or four-legged) in the world... Off my soapbox now...LOL! [/QUOTE]
