[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 7501, member: 19"] An aquaintance of mine whom I've known for several years is into longhorn cows and decided to crossbreed them. He leased a bull from someone else in town. I personally fancy the bull as he is father to one of mine. Nevertheless, the bull is a very stout angus-probably goes about 2000#. Quite hefty for an angus. The first thing I thought was, those scrawny little longhorns can't even stand for a bull that size. I was proven wrong. My next thought was that those longhorns could never handle sizable calves from that bull. Again I was proven wrong. My last thought was, how could they be happy with the calves? Again I was proven wrong. Seems like the longhorn man had a thing or two to teach me. The calves from the longhorns were very nice and weaned out at a very good weight (so I was told). Moral- I could always stand to learn something new and longhorn cattle have more to offer than most think. [/QUOTE]
