My post was not meant to put down Longhorn. I actually appreciate alot of the qualities they possess, like their immune system. Like you I enjoy alot of the posts on this site but get a little frustrated with the over-zealous nature of many of the different breed owners. This is especially true when they cross up their facts. This is why I pointed out the fact that Longhorn in a more "native environment" are not the doscile animals that are raised on farms.
Thru all the breeding for better animals w/in the longhorn breed, has the superior immune system been maintained?
