[QUOTE="denvermartinfarms, post: 1239843, member: 16167"] Sounds like it won't work in Texas, but this is how longhorns work here. You can buy a good young heavy bred longhorn for about 1000$ she will eat a little less than other cows and have a calf every year, that calf at 500lbs will bring 2.50$ or 1250$ and you paid 1000$ for that cow. Or you can buy the same quality heavy bred black cow for 2500$, her 500lb calf will bring 3.00$ or 1500$ and you paid 2500$ for that cow. So that's 5 years before the black cow made you extra money. With that said I don't have but a few longhorns, alot of my cows are somewhere between 1000$ longhorns and 2500$ blacks. Now I completely understand this wont work in many places, just saying how it is here. [/QUOTE]
