[QUOTE="TEhayandcattle, post: 519991, member: 7234"] There is nothing terminal about real Beefmaster cattle, not to mention once they have names you can tell them apart. As for Longhorns there are a couple of herds around who are as good as any cows in any breed. If you don't like Beefmasters you probably bought one from an unethical source or talked to someone who did and developed an opinion based on a lack of firsthand knowledge. As far as variance being an issue, There are Beefmaster Bulls that can lay down an endless stream of uniformity, and likewise there are some who are a little more artistic in their work. But altogether there is no better breed, that is just another opinion I suppose, but if you really aren't convinced compare your stats with your neighbor. Calves born in the same window, feed inputs, growth vs. maintenance, whatever. The more feed prices go up the better a cow who can maintain herself and consistently put 7-800 pound yearlings on the ground with nothing but foraging pasture is gonna look, guaranteed. And that is regardless of color or hornsize or lack thereof. [/QUOTE]
