well apparently he's good enough for the buyer.Taurus":1xnqlwmg said:SHE is a 14 years old.
Why leave him intact if he is a longhorn cross...not good bull for commerical breeding..

Check your male cat, dog, hog, goat, hampster, your BF -- your calf . . . got nipples?longhornlover3498":1iqznw35 said:today when i went out to look at the cows and check for calves,snowflake had a black calf sleeping by her feet. snowflake is a LH/blk max/red angus cross. last year we line bred her her sires brother. when i reached under the calf i felt small udders my first thought was that it was a heifer,but when reached more towards that rear end that calf had nuts too! i got IT to stand up and my grandfather and i looked under it and we saw the teats...but we saw the nuts as well... :help: :help: :help:
Either the buyer is only a hobby farmer or rodeo stocker, a longhorn cross bull have no place in commerical cattle operations. That bull will bring less money for him if he throws colored calves.longhornlover3498":1eve348p said:well apparently he's good enough for the buyer.Taurus":1eve348p said:SHE is a 14 years old.

What did the calf weigh?longhornlover3498":3e9lzg36 said:he's wanting colored calves. he came out to our place the day hermes was born and was looking at our bull calves. he has 40 longhorns,corriente and shorthorn cows. he tried to run a longhorn bull with them but he didnt like him very much. he said he wanted a black bull that had a low BW, was long and thin at birth,was polled and that wasnt ornry. so we let him pick and he said he'll pick him up after weaning so that he can monitor what he eats.

he told us all his cows are colored or spotted so he wanted a bull that standed out with his cows. he didnt not want a homozygous black bull though. we also asked him why he didnt just go with an angus or a limo,he said he didnt like them. he wanted plenty of hybrid vigor in his calves so he said the best bull for him was a cross breed.Chris H":3mnjvgg8 said:longhornlover3498":3mnjvgg8 said:he's wanting colored calves. he came out to our place the day hermes was born and was looking at our bull calves. he has 40 longhorns,corriente and shorthorn cows. he tried to run a longhorn bull with them but he didnt like him very much. he said he wanted a black bull that had a low BW, was long and thin at birth,was polled and that wasnt ornry. so we let him pick and he said he'll pick him up after weaning so that he can monitor what he eats.
If he wants & gets a black bull then he shouldn't expect colored calves. This bull most likely is not homozygous black, and could throw colored calves but he'd get more color by using a colored bull. BTW, you do know when you say 'colored calves' you're talking about getting reds, yellows, roans, & spotted calves?
