[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1182548, member: 5644"] One thought about Longhorns. Are you set up to handle cattle with ginormous horns? Now don't get me wrong. I like Longhorns, but you will need to get a prepotent bull to overcome the LH traits or find cows that are not hatchet assed. I have read that the best LH cross is a Charolais bull on LH cows and I believe it. We have bred our Jersey cows to top quality Angus bulls (AI) in the past and the calves have always had visible dairy influence. This year one was bred to a Charolais bull and the only dairy influence is a pretty head. The calf has a deep body, good length and good muscling. He is growing better than the Angus crosses too. He does not have a dairy hip which surprised me. [/QUOTE]
