[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10859"] We don't breed our Longhorn heifers before they're about 14 mos. old. Also, Longhorn bulls are good choice to help produce low birthweight calves which are ideal for 1st calf heifers. On the average, Longhorn calves weigh about 55 lbs. with a weight range of about 50 to 65 lbs max. [Know there are also some other breeds that produce low birthweight calves]. Another positive with Longhorns--University research reported they have aboaut 99.7% unassisted calving (compared with about 80% of some of the other popular breeds).
