[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 647475, member: 5478"] Yes hereford sired, baldy cows. Longhorn has a sleeker shape, easier calving. The longhorn calves turn out well anyway, they gain right along with the other calves, and sell just as well here (so far). So why NOT use a longhorn? I have used LBW angus in the past, and had a lot of trouble, so I stick with what works. My problem with angus is not with the breed, but with the producers in my area. Last "Low birthweight" bull I had threw 90+ pound calves. Can't seem to trust the locals EPDs. Everyone here thinks they are expert angus breeders with the best genetics. The advertisements always say "fancy" black angus bulls or cows for sale. "Fancy" means another 2 grand for the purchase price, with no extra money in my pocket come fall. [/QUOTE]
