[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 639270, member: 6797"] Be advised I am not looking to see your dirty laundry - like obvious culls - what I am interested in is why some of the good looking animals you might have that go out the door - do go out the door. What fits your program and what does not. And to me the all important - "why". Otherwise it would be very counter productive indeed - so keep those out of the topic - job protection can be important! As you know I have used long horns in a cross breeding program and found them to be quite a capable animal. I also have used LH on heifers. I am presently in the middle east - I wonder how they might do on the Israeli / Syria - Golan Heights. How tick resistant are they, how well they can scrounge, and how they are for temps in the 40 degree C range. I see a lot of bone thin cattle over here and you would not believe what they can survive on. It is green here at the moment and it is the fattening time and calving time for the cattle. There may be a possible interest in some areas here - some of your other deep south breeds are here and they often cross with a British or small continentals. Perhaps it can get too hot here - but there does seem to be an increase in the Brit cattle over the past year on the ranges. There is a move affot at one ranch here to breed to some of the smaller Arab cattle - I wonder what / how LH might do over here. Horns and nuts are never an issue over here as they stay on to satisfy Kosher requirements. No attempt at hijacking - just a rambling thought or two - I happen to be hooked in to a couple of the larger ranches over here. Got to run - off to Frankfurt tomorrow morning at 0500 - have to be there three hours ahead - after a nearly one hour and forty minute long taxi ride to Tel Aviv first. So I pack now and pull out of here at around midnight - If you get a chance to respond I will follow up - otherwise send me PM if you like - should be back on line in a day or two. Hey, you have a good one. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
