[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 367153, member: 440"] Well, I find it interesting that someone finally addressed this post. For a while I thought everyone had gone to sleep. Longhorn cattle can be bred to two extremes. Those with so much horn that they can hardly hold their heads up with small bodies and those who look like they have just enough Longhorn blood in them to pass them off as such for show purposes. I'll put it this way-if it looks and smells like crap it usually is. I know we've all heard this before. I know that Watusi has been introduced into the breed before but you can always tell, even several generations down the line. It's too hard to disguise from what I've been told. It's also very evident that many of the animals on the show circuit today have other blood introduced into them as well. All of this just tends to dilute a breed that needs to be left alone and kept in it's purest form. To me, someone who does this just to win a ribbon or a check does not really care about the breed. This is just greed. But the association did away with blood typing to protect these people so we can see where their hearts really lie as well. [/QUOTE]
