[QUOTE="Big Cheese, post: 1485508, member: 23385"] We have some 1/2 Balancer 1/2 Longhorn heifers that we retained when we bought a Longhorn herd a few years ago. There are about 8 of them I think. The 4 older ones have had their 2nd calf out of a Charolais bull and they are raising some really nice calves. One of them raised one of our biggest calves last year at 610 pounds and it was her first calf. I would recommend using a good Charolais bull on them because I have seen the results by using one or if you don't want to go the Charolais route (some people are still scared of them for calving but we don't have that much problem at all breeding them to heifers) then I would probably go Black Angus. That's just my opinion on the matter. [/QUOTE]
