    Stirring the pot on the LH/corriente topic

    I don't care enough about anyone's peeing contest to read all 6 pages of this mess, but I think Longhorns are like every breed out there. There are good and bad ones. If they work for your operation, great. If they don't, ok. I was able to get started with my own cows because of a couple cheap...

    BELTIE!

    I bred mine to a Saler and Charolais with no issues, but I know that's not necessarily going to be everyone's experience.

    I look forward to seeing how she grows.

    BELTIE!

    Did you sell her? How did she do for you?

    Brahma cross

    I thought it wasn't advised to use implants on heifers because of the impact on fertility.

    The airing of the grievances

    I've worked with some kids in group homes, foster care, and sad/bad home environments, and it seems that they do lie to overcompensate more than your average teenager. It's a defense mechanism to try to convince themselves that life isn't as bad as they know it is.

    BELTIE!

    I had a Belted Galloway cow for a couple years. She threw thick calves, but her attitude was horrible. She was high headed and could get snorty in the catch pen. Bred to a Saler bull, she had a solid black calf. Bred to a Charolais, she had a grey belted calf. Bred to a Santa Gertrudis bull...

    Show me your herd bull

    I agree. He definitely has his faults, but he has done a good job with my commercial, cross-bred mix of cows: (Charolais X, Jersey, and Longhorn crosses). I have a friend using him right now on her group of Charolais cross cows.

    Red Angus Question

    Yep! That is the kind of tag he has in his ear. Thank you!

    Red Angus Question

    I have a full-blood (supposedly registered) Red Angus bull. He has a tag in his ear with a number and "Red Angus" printed on it. Does anyone with registered Red Angus that might know more about what the tag number might mean? Thanks.

    Brahman x Brown Syiss/Braunvieh

    I'm just waiting around to see pictures of these future heifers because it sounds like an interesting and probably profitable cross.

    Show me your herd!

    These are a couple of May calves. Both by a Red Angus bull. The calf on the left is out of a Saler X Longhorn cow; the calf on the right is out of a Charolais X Holstein cow.

    Raising Longhons

    I started out with mostly Longhorn cows because they were cheaper. Over the years, I bred them to Saler, Angus, Hereford, and Charolais bulls. Calves by the Charolais bull were the most uniform calves. They were born small, grew fast, and the spots were knocked off. The Saler calves were a close...

    Bull I bought yesterday

    I don't know anything about EPDs. What does he look like?

    New bull, lease or buy?

    I bought my last two bulls as long yearlings and grew them out myself. I was able to get them for just above market value and kept them for a couple years and sold them for enough to replace them. I don't expect to make money on an aged bull.

    Show your calf pictures.

    These are some Charolais cross calves right before weaning. My cows are mostly Longhorn crosses.

    Flashy Panda Calf

    I like her. I have a belted cow that I want a replacement out of, but so far she's had three bull calves in a row. One by a Saler bull that came out solid black and two grey belted calves by a Charolais bull. This year I am breeding her to a Santa Gertrudis bull so there's no telling what I will...
