[QUOTE="Embers, post: 1715903, member: 42340"] Started with registered Longhorns after retirement. Gradually cut numbers back when grandkids started coming to play with cows . Bought few Registered Belties about 6 years ago. Used longhorn bull on them. This cross actually was the best. Longhorns are good mothers BeltedDams nocked horns off. Same way when used Belted Bul on longhorn cows. Gradually cutting back now only have 3 longhorn Dams and only one registered. Now going to start thinning out my original belties and keep A few off their calves that will be weaning calves themselves this year. Culled heifers really hard only kept 5 out of 5 calfings. Selecting for disposition, ease of maintaining, size(800-1000) pound cows, weaning live calf each year and calving at least every 365 days. Private treaty sales of bulls, heifers at weaning. Limited sales of grass fed 2 year bulls for others to process. Not very popular breed for sale barn. No expansion of herd for sure. Not too hard on pasture but would not recommend them for profit if take to sale barn as a plan for calves. [/QUOTE]
