[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17698"] Just curious, Longhorn Bill, why are Longhorn breeders making these changes? Are they also breeding for more marbling (fat) in the beef? Will these changes affect the Longhorn's ability to be used on heifers? What about the spots? Most Longhorn breeders like to see those spotted calves. Why raise Longhorns if you're breeding out those traits that make them Longhorns? > I'm sure I'll get some > "hits" on this > post...lol.
