[QUOTE="damengineer, post: 1692937, member: 24810"] I have a couple of longhorn cows and a longhorn bull that run with my Angus cows. I got the bull when I lost several calves that were too big at calving. I had a first calf heifer that had a newborn calf. It had nursed once already, but it was winter and a real cold wind had picked up from the North. The heifer was trying to get her calf to get out of the fence row and go with her to the windbreak. She worked for 20 minutes to get the calf up but it would not move. One of my old longhorn cows came up, twisted her horn right down along the ground and picked that calf up and set it on its feet. I wish I would have got a video. I had cussed that old girl the day before and told her that her days were numbered. That was 3 years ago, she is still here.... My longhorn calves are wild as can be until they are weaned. The longhorn cross mothers are some of the best mothers I have. Some stay with their calves 24/7 and others hide them for 3 weeks. I try to cull the ones who hide their calves. The longhorn blood costs me when I sell, they really take a hit if they are not black. However, I have only lost 2 calves in 5 years out of 40 mother cows since having the longhorn bull. [/QUOTE]
