[QUOTE="Lon, post: 811111, member: 16174"] well it finally warmed up a little outside here. woke up to 0 felt mighty good. now if i do go longhorn from what almost everyone told me a limi bull bred on them is one i should look at. well i think that is what i might do. my dad says a sim angus bull or shorthorn bull keep replacements. talked to my cousin he runs a few cattle. he said he has part angus and other half are longhorns. he went half and half for stating out to keep the capital cost down when starting. said yup that first year calves you can tell they got longhorn in them. they will take a hit when selling but he never has takin such a huge hit that he should load them all up. said bred to black sim bull kept replacements and them half longhorn half sim replacements raise a calf that kept up with his angus cattle. he sells when weaning. said he is gonna get a simangus bull for his angus now but as he stands right now everyone of them half sim half longhorn calves he will keep for replacements and breed back to them angus bulls cause the calves with only a 1/4 longhorn didnt take a hit when sold them. also said when wintering them half longhorn cows he just dumps some cake out and they do the rest unless it gets real bad out. so input cost on them year to year saves him alot in feed and fuel going out there. Any takes on this. [/QUOTE]
