[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 26414, member: 57"] to answer your original question i would think british breeding would be better to cross with longhorns, since they are already lean they could use some marbling and beefiness. angus or hereford would probably be best as far as coloration goes b/c shorthorns and longhorns would tend to have several spotted or roan calves whereas angus and hereford might be a little more predictable. the "lineback" or "skunktail" coloration that is transmitted through some charolais tends to be a fairly dominant trait so i woudl assume it is in longhorn crosses too. it definitely is in pinzguaer. interesting question.
