maybe 800 definately not more

im sure shes bred back and shes a longhorn cow no dairy, her horns are cut, look at her tight little bag and her sloped rear end. her ears nose and spots are all typical of these type cows

yes you are exactly right about that! and i dont think he carries a red gene but what do you think would happen if he did? also am i way off base in thinking a charolais bull would be better for cows like her?

here is one of the angus cross calves i was talking about, ill call her a longhorn cow i guess but this calf is out of a solid black angus bull

8 to 9 months

yea alot of them get smaller horns or scurs, also my thought process behind getting a charolais bull soon is half my cows are not solid colored alot of black and white and brown spots which those may be more of a longhorn type cow technically

now thats the part that sucks, for me alot of the calves come out with white coloring and they get docked pretty heavy. and the ones that are solid black sometimes have little scur horns and they are not #1 price. a couple months ago i sold 2 100% corriente steers together they averaged 385lbs...

mine are just on grass, hay, and mineral thats all they ever get except dewormer. weaning weights generally 450 for steers and 400 for heifers now im using just a plain jane angus bull and he could be alot better. next year im gonna buy a charolais bull to use on them. also these cows vary in...

so far i have only ever just weaned them off the cow and took them straight to the salebarn. i keep track of their ages and sell all my calves when they are 8 to 9 months old, i know what they weigh then but dont know the kill weight ends up being. i am keeping 2 this year to process so i will...

when is this stew gonna be ready we've been stirring it so long i think ill settle for a sheet sandwich! ive got beef cows and corriente cows both, ive only had corrientes for about 3 years so im still learning the hard way for myself on how they will work out $$$. anyway if anyone has any real...

if your talking about normal grass pasture my experience has been you can run 2 corriente cows to 1 beef cow. but definately not 5, i also never get 500lb weaning weights at 6 months but at 8 or 9 months youd get that easily

anyway back to the original post, id say if they are the solid colored type cow and they are bred buy them! even a straight corriente calf will bring 400 when you sell the calf. and if they are spotted id pass on them because of the dock youll get for off colored calves unless your using a...

if you ask me you are not being deceptive at all when your selling corriente beef cross calves because even though they look good you can tell what they are or at least tell they are not 100% a beef calf. the corrientes that arent 100% solid colored bred to just a regular black angus bull will...

yea your better off doing that but ive seen so called "herd dispersals" be 20 cows from a man with 300 head and he picked out 20 culls to disperse
