In terms of meat quality, Wagyu Cattle provides the highest quality (and priciest) beef on the market today. Raising them requires adhering to very strict standards.

A texas long horn's horns grow outward, forward and up, the texas twist's horns slowly spiral out.  They are both the same breed of cattle, just different horn types and you are right.  Here is a great website to look at www.txranger.com. and www.assadtexaslonghorns.com\nP.S. There is also the texas butler strain of longhorns

Such an interesting question but unfortunately I am not aware of any research into that sort of thing. I have worked with Jersey cows (my favourites) Ayershires and Frisians but never with Guernseys . Maybe you should organise a race?

A good general rule of thumb is 1 full grown cow per acre.  If you're feeding the cow daily or have hay for the cow to eat whenever it wants to you could drop that to somewhere between half and 3/4ths of an acre per cow.

Cattle (called cows in vernacular usage, or kine [archaic]) are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovinae of the family Bovidae. They are raised as livestock for meat (called beef and veal), dairy products (milk), leather and as draught animals (pulling carts, plows and the like). In some countries, such as India, they are subject to religious ceremonies and respect. It is estimated that there are 1.3 billion head of cattle in the world today [1].\n\nCattle were originally identified by Carolus Linnaeus as three separate species. These were Bos taurus, the European cattle, including similar types from Africa and Asia; Bos indicus, the zebu; and the extinct Bos primigenius, the aurochs. The aurochs is ancestral to both zebu and European cattle. More recently these three have increasingly been grouped as one species, sometimes using the names Bos primigenius taurus, Bos primigenius indicus and Bos primigenius primigenius. Complicating the matter is the ability of cattle to interbreed with other closely related species. Hybrid individuals and even breeds exist, not only between European cattle and zebu but also with yaks, banteng, gaur, and bison, a cross-genera hybrid. For example, genetic testing of the Dwarf Lulu breed, the only humpless "Bos taurus-type" cattle in Nepal, found them to be a mix of European cattle, zebu and yak. Cattle cannot successfully be bred with water buffalo or African buffalo. (See aurochs for the history of domestication, and zebu for peculiarities of that group.)

The success rate of invitro fertilization in cattle is very high. They have been doing it for years.

Apparently, Jersey cattle have been around centuries before the state of New Jersey.\n\n"The Jersey breed originated on the Island of Jersey, a small British island in the English Channel off the coast of France. The Jersey is one of the oldest dairy breeds, being purebred for nearly six centuries."

the hormone similar to our FSH hormone also stimulates them to up milk production... it evades me right now... but i wanna say it's called BSH.... i swear that's wrong, but it's from Monsanto company.... i haven't milked out cows in a long time! ;) anyhoo, they get monthly injections which stimulates their mammaries to up milk production.

Well, you can't leave them outside all the time!  Can you afford a heated dog house?  Find a reputable breeder who has dogs already trained.  You may want to get more than one and of course hire someone to clean up all the dog dirt.  You need an aggressive dog but will be loyal to you and employees/family.  I like German Shepards and Rottweilers.  They can be pretty intimidating and they are not as high strung as a Doberman.  Stay away from pit bulls, the breed is filled with problems.  You will need to be an active part of your dogs' lives and spend a lot of time with them.  If that is not possible, get a good security system:  cameras, gates, the whole deal.

B is right (over A) because "raised" presumes less than  cultivated. Bred is used for animals, mostly.

Beef - the magazine is a good magazine for the entire industry. http://beef-mag.com/index.html Most breeds (Angus, Shorthorn, Limousin, Maine Anjou just to name a few) also offer a publication. Most of these major breeds have an association with a website.

Deer, a lot of good meat.  Some day I would like to take a buffalo, a ton of good meat, but I want to have enough money to mount the head and make a robe out of the hide

Be careful!  Swiss cows are more hostile than most.  That's why the cheese has holes in it.
