[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 674271, member: 440"] In the Longhorn breed they already know that they are about 80% Spanish stock, about 20% other with other being Hereford, Durham (Shorthorn) and supposedly the Brahman has been bred out but I see some from time to time that show a Brahman influence. There really shouldn't be anything else. If Simmental, Limousin or some of the newer breeds in America (1970's and on up forward) show up then someone has been a little too careless in their breeding programs. In my opinion it's been a little too easy for some of the bulkier beef breeds to creep in for those deeper bodies and also for a little Afrikander or Watusi to get slipped in for those bigger horn bases. I have nothing against cross breeding any breed of cattle as long as you call it what it is. We cross breed some but they are sold as crosses. We are about to put a young Charolais bull on some of our bigger framed, shorter horned Longhorn cows for market calves. We are a registered seed stock operation but in order to keep this going we are going to have to diversify some to help pay the bills. [/QUOTE]
