Israel Longhorn Project

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life”, that is what we are doing with these cattle. The quote is from (Moses) Maimonides, a Jewish rabbi, physician, and philosopher (1135 - 1204). Israel Faces a Serious Environmental, Security and Agricultural Problem Beef Cattle are Failing to Thrive in Israel’s Desert Environment HELP KEEP ISRAEL STRONG, IF YOU WANT ISRAEL TO KEEP HELPING YOU. (we are fighting terrorism, culturally with cattle) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMF12Ru--yw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGfc2oRYyxA SUPPORT THE “ISRAEL LONGHORN PROJECT” TO DO JUST THAT Our Israel Longhorn Project will help Israeli and East African Farms* and Ranches •Longhorns can eat invasive shrubs and cacti which are overwhelming the Galilee and causing forest fires. •Longhorns can thrive in Israel’s deserts. •Longhorns have excellent calving and mothering abilities, can produce more & healthier calves up to 20 years. •Longhorns can go further and longer with less water. •Longhorns solve the problem of rising feed costs. •Longhorns have horns and know how to use them to protect their calves from both human and animal predators. •Longhorns can be trained to respond positively to Israeli ranchers or their cowboys and or cowgirls. •A percentage of the Longhorns will be used to help produce meat for those in Israel who cannot even afford a little meat for their Shabbat Dinner. Israel is now raising America's finest beef cattle -- plump, docile European breeds. Adapted to temperate grassy plains, they were put into Israel’s hostile desert environment where there is little or no grass. • European beef cattle have poor disease resistance, genetic diseases and high losses due to predators. • European beef cattle have higher feed costs, requiring non-native feeds, they do not eat the non-native invasive shrubs, or invasive cactus. • European beef cattle have high calf losses (as high as 30%) and low reproduction rates. Israel’s Golden Jackal, a small animal, bites the nose of the calf as it is being born and strangles it before it drops from the mother to the ground, dead. The mother cow does nothing to protect her new born calf. • European beef cattle have poor mothering skills and high rate of birth complications. • Due to the high losses, more cattle are required on pasture, causing more environmental damage. • An out of control extremely high theft rate of Israeli cattle. • Many Israeli ranches use only 3 strand of loose Barbed wire fencing. Thieves don’t need to cut the fences to steal the cattle. The cattle just walk through fences as if it was melted butter. • Many Israeli ranches do not have enough help. Rancher’s find themselves working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year almost without any time for families or even Shabbat. • Massive animal and livestock die off in Kenya and East Africa, due to drought, over grazing, poor management of water resources, poor cattle management and using the wrong type of cattle. More African counties have been asking for our our help. Help us bring Texas Longhorn Cattle to Israel. We need Your Donations to Make this a Reality. This is a Zionist project. We are registered at Guidestar.org, a national nonprofit registry and at jchoice.org, Jewish Causes of Choice.
