Talk:Randall Lineback

Improvements that should be made

The article ought to mention when the breed was developed. At present, it says where and by whom, but not when. Also, the article seems to imply that the breed has only existed since the nineteenth century, but another source¹ indicates that its been around for hundreds of years, and that it was not developed by the Randall family as the article currently claims.
I first heard of this breed watching a show called Burgers in Washington². In the episode, it says that Eamonn’s A Dublin Chipper³ serves burgers made from Randall lineback cattle. The chef explains that, in serving Randall meat, he aims to promote their cultivation in order to help sustain the breed and prevent it from going extinct. A discussion of the popularity (whether growing, shinking, whatever) of eating Randall meat may be warranted.
Here is an article from CNN about preserving the Randall breed through consumption. The article credits Joe Henderson has the primary agent responsible for the breed’s resurgence. I definitely think this CNN article should be heavily cited in this Wikipedia article, as its story is rather compelling and informative.

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Corsican Cattle which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 12:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
