[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 681536, member: 9"] Let me begin by saying that some other producers will discredit the merits of Longhorns in favor of crediting their own breed. In this respect I do not want to get into an argument over "who has the most advantages". Given this, here is a thumbnail sketch of Longhorn benefits: [list]1. Low birthweight calves & larger pelvic area for calving 2. Essentially never have to pull a calf (with rare exceptions) 3. High disease resistance 4. Pinkeye not a problem or issue 5. Very efficient browsers...eat about anything 6. Gentle, mild-mannered, easy to train with voice commands and hand signals 7. Excellent predator control 8. Excellent mamas and milkers, very protective of calves 9. Early maturity for breeding 10. Still calving into mid & late teens 11. Lean, low cholesterol beef[/list] [/QUOTE]
