[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 610083, member: 9"] Some interesting comments, pro and con on this thread! Bottomlines: [list]1. Longhorn Cattle ARE a beef breed 2. Horns are an enhancement and visual "eye candy" to many people 3. There can be a balance between the "historic" and the "current" models 4. As with both cattle and horses, Judges have their preferences, right or wrong for breed "type" 5. Variety in color patterns are part of the "eye candy attraction" for many buyers 6. Good, bad, or indifferent any Longhorn can be eaten (except by Vegetarians...lol) 7. Regardless of WHO the breeder/producer is, there are many breeders out there that offer variety[/list] As with many cattle breeds, over the years there have been numerous "modifications" of phenotype to satisfy "current" trends, fads, and purposes. No one breeder (or) his/her program has all the answers. Each breeder purports to satisfy his/her customer base. The ultimate test of anyone's program is SALES. Unsold inventories and/or show ribbons alone do not pay the bills. Guess this is basic business sense... [/QUOTE]
