[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1136296, member: 22295"] There are Longhorns that have high quality and also very good muscling. I had a friend in NW OK who raised very high quality angus for years. They switched to Longhorns and sought out the best. I purchased some of her calves for roping steers. They grew tood fast. I fed out several. The best beef and very good quality steers. All of her herd bulls weight a ton or more. Her cows would weigh 1,100-1,300. I've only saw one other herd of Longhorns of similar quality. She crossed Salers and Angus both back on the cows and raised good black calves that weren't docked near as much as a Hereford was in the 90's. Her heifers calved easy, her cows milked well and were great mothers. She weaned a high percentage calf crop and didn't have to babysit them. I will agree most are more for looks. But there is some good quality Longhorns if a person wants to spend the time looking. I'm sure they have something else in them also. [/QUOTE]
