[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1762788, member: 42715"] Black corriente is about 12 months old. Would bring about $250 to $350. Not bred. The corrientes, Longhorns, hereford, charolais, etc. also seemed to have less recovery value than the black and bwf cows at auction. This actually does affect the bottom line a bit. Several hereford fats sold for way less than their angus equivalents. Can’t remember seeing any Hereford steers sell, but red calves were always discounted, sometimes heavily. Saw 1000lb Longhorns go for $350. Drove hundreds of miles across central Texas last summer. Over and over again the experienced ranchers seem to point you to rwf/bwf/black cows with a black angus bull, judging by what they have grazing their pastures. Nobody that was an old hand tried to disabuse me of the idea when I asked at the auction. Hoping to get some heifers out of the f1 braford and the Hereford. Will probably give those female calves the first shot at being held back as replacements. If bred to an angus bull, their progeny would throw 3/4 angus calves and still have lots of hybrid vigor as momma cows. We’ll see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
