[QUOTE="crossbredcalves, post: 1545586, member: 13352"] I started with Longhorns when I was in college, January 2010. I was able to buy them cheap. I couldn't afford to buy a "good, black" cow, but I bought a couple younger Longhorn cows in the 3rd period for $300 each. They were both bred to a decent black bull, and they both calved within the next couple weeks. I sold the calves at about six months for more than I paid for their mommas. It's been too many years to remember how much they weighed and brought, but I know they both cleared $500 each. Both were steers, one solid black and one black, with a white skunk tail. Since I graduated, I have kept some replacement heifers and gotten away from the straight Longhorn cows. The Longhorn cows did their job for me. They got me a solid start in the cattle hobby, and that's what I needed. [/QUOTE]
