It's my observation and experience that charolais and longhorns grow about the same and look about the same with similar stretchy frame until +yearling phase. The feedlot is where the charolais and charxlonghorn really out perform the longhorn but this doesn't really help the calf producer or...

What’s the frame size of jopa elation power? Can you tell me more about his daughter who is your “ growthiest cow” and what do you mean by “growthy”? Thanks!

I looking for info, pictures and input from breeders and ranchers who are using longhorn cattle in their composite or cross-breeding breeding program. I am particularly interested in the use of the breed for maternal traits but also want to know what crosses produce the best beef! Challenge...

I’m looking for the top marbling Murray Grey sure to AI too. Who is he?
