<span>There's one thing that EVERYBODY failed to mention here as to the REAL reason why TL's were "chosen" over other breeds: because they were the ONLY breed available in such large numbers to even be "used" for cattle drives!! They were NOT chosen over other breeds, they were the only type of cattle or "breed" available at that time. All the other breeds in New England were in far too small of numbers to be considered worthy and were only found in New England, not the Western and Southern portion of the United States!
THAT is why TLs were "used" for cattle drives. They were the only available stock that could be shipped north and east to meet the outcry demand for beef since the rest of the beef herd and nearly run dry during the Civil War.</span>
The bridge "rose" from the ocean as vast amounts of ocean water became tied up in the enormous glaciers of the last ice age. That exposed the broad continental shelves now covered by the Bering Strait and created the land bridge. The bridge last arose around 70,000 years ago.
Being from the great state of Louisiana, our former governor, Edwin Edwards' career was destroyed by D. A conviction for taking bribes associated with gambling contracts.
Hope this helps. :)
