[QUOTE="BC, post: 694851, member: 67"] No one has ever said the part Longhorn cow was not a good calf raiser. I have only seen a couple of bad uddered LH cows and only one cancer eyed LH in my 40+ years of owning cattle. The problem is in the steers and heifers not kept for replacements. They go to the feedyards and as the old expression says "that is where the wheels come off the cart". Slower growth on feed and less muscling which affects red meat yield. The color problem just accentuates the problem because it makes those animals stick out. Same can be said for any animals that are not solid colored or at least traditionally colored. [/QUOTE]
