As Jim Leachman used to say "There is as much genetic diversity within a herd as between herds." Some of the longhorns of today have a lot more meat than the originals.Bob Kinfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045839604984474937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969316347443477219.post-3507767805243487242016-03-12T11:59:48.277-08:002016-03-12T11:59:48.277-08:00Falster Farms Investment Program.

The Long Horn cow drinks every bit as much as any other cow in the same body condition and weight, if on dry land, the stocking rate will so close, again as per body condition. And remember the Long Horn cow just ain't got enough meat on it on dry land to be anything other than a living bovine on that land, if you’re talking about high dry land. <br />Ain't trying to tell you your business but I'd suggest you look more to the old days of Texas and the SoWest as that is reality. They imported what is called today Miniature Hereford Cattle to Texas from Great Brittan to put meat on that Long Horn: see a movie about it: "The Rare Breed" a 1966 American western film starring James Stewart, Maureen O'Hara depicting this point.<br />Falster Farm is doing a similar project with the University of the Philippines. Well I need to go look over a young Herd Sire. Wish you luck, and know that I’d be happy to consult with your efforts. <br />Falster Farm Investment Programhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240434423166250762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969316347443477219.post-37042896501056884192014-10-16T13:51:21.784-07:002014-10-16T13:51:21.784-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.robinrosenblatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220040895572111186noreply@blogger.com
