[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 639420, member: 615"] In regards to cattle in Israel and surrounding areas. I am not that familiar with what is already there, however there was an article about some longhorns being used in Africa. The article was in the March issue of the [i]The Texas Longhorn Journal[/i] which should be online shortly at [url=http://www.thelonghornjournal.com]www.thelonghornjournal.com[/url] Some semen has either already been shipped and been used, or is on its way. With embryos on the way. The semen was being used on bos indicus based females that are native to the area. I'm not sure the specifics of the whole situation, as i just skimmed through the article. The lady sending the semen and embryos has probably done more exporting of longhorn genetics than anyone else, mostly to Australia and New Zealand. Seems like it is a pretty neat deal they are doing over there in Africa. Bringing in a different gene pool, that has the traits of disease resistance and hardiness that is demanded by the region. Could be something in there that might be helpful to the Israel area. If I can be of anymore assitance I would be more than happy to help. Ryan [/QUOTE]
