[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1457275, member: 26621"] Most people won't give a LH the chance to be beefy. It's stuck in most folks heads that they should be racks of bones. As far as the maternal progress.....Not as much as the guys selling six figure replacements would have you think. Here is an honest look at full sisters at 2 yrs and 3 yrs old. My program wouldn't work for everyone, but hybrid vigor is hybrid vigor. I bought a dang nice solid color Mexican bull in 08'.....Named him Obama. We did the right thing and voted his azz out four years later, once we'd used him for what he was good for. We crossed him on Angus heifers, and believe it or not, improved their get in enough ways to call it a success. You want replacements that milk better on junk feed? (important in this neck of the woods) A little Hereford influence wont' hurt a thing. You want low BW? Angus bull is your man. You want really low BW? Get a Mexican bull. You want cows that can survive on good feed, or ragweed, and everything in between? Put a little LH influence in your cows. If I thought I could stay half way close to a profit, I'd have some ear to go with the horn....Just don't think it'll fly around here just yet.
