[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 588188, member: 1346"] I wouldn't cross anything to a corriente or longhorn MM.... just IMHO only. Some of those sold at the local salebarn two weeks ago and brought 20 to 28 cents a lb. some were 5 to 7 yr old bred cows in 2nd and 3rd period. Maybe there's a demand for them in your area but not in this one. Perhaps you may need to sit out a year or two or three while going to school and actually with the economy the way it is, it might be a good time to do just that. I read in the Midwest cattleman paper a couple months back that meat consumption is down 30% and I think next years beef prices will be even lower than this years. I don't see anything wrong with adding jersey MM........... in fact I've talked to a cousin who has crossed his heifers to a jersey bull and I'm interested in getting some of his heifer calves (he has 4 holsteins crossed to jersey as well and I"m hoping at least one of them has a heifer as I'd like to get it). There are some reports out that say jersey marbles better than angus. I went to the meat butcher shop yesterday and watched them cut up my beef and the main butcher there told me marbling is strictly based on what/how you feed. I'm no expert nor do I have the years of experience or data to say yea or nay about that. Can't you find a jersey crossed with angus or hereford or even shorthorn ........... that's what I would look for.... surely someone in the area has one. [/QUOTE]
