[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6674"] Well Roger, lets see, agree a half longhorn,is better than a dead calf.. I have argued for the longhorn, Small birth weights, genetic diveristy, beautiful animals, but really as history shows not a very good beef animal..although through selection they may be improved. The problem there as I see it is They (longhorn breederd) are breed for horns, while the whole time talking how great the meat is. Your point about longhorn use on heifers, well maybe the people that are breeding the 15 mo. heifers would be better off breeding at 20 mo.
