[QUOTE="Big Cheese, post: 1294950, member: 23385"] We've only got 1 Longhorn Charolais cross cow right now so I can't give very accurate numbers with them I will know more this time next year about Longhorn Cross cows because we have some Longhorn Black Balancer cross heifers that will be calving in the Spring. But the one Longhorn Charolais cross cow we have we sold two calves this year off of her (bought her bred Jan 2014 sold calf in April and Oct) and both calves brought top dollar at the sale that day. The 2nd calf was a 3/4 Charolias 1/4 Longhorn and was Solid white and at 5 months old(we sold it early because she had it so fast after we sold her first calf which caught us off guard) it weighed 400 pounds. Based off that one cow I love them. I feel like all of them will be just as good as her. I think it's really smart to buy Longhorns as replacements when you can get them cheap. Keep them a few years they pay for themselves then you can replace them with a heifer if they don't cut it for you. Our mentor told us this when he started telling us about the Longhorn Charolais process.....if the cow has a live calf every year on time she's a keeper...regardless. The calves will get better every year. Especially with Longhorns they don't reach their prime until 8-10 years old. [/QUOTE]
