[QUOTE="Baldie Maker, post: 716614, member: 9081"] Bob I thnk that it all depends on what you're planning to do with the resulting calf crop. Do you plan on retaining any females from the cross? If you do, are you going to bred them back to an angus or homo polled bull? If you're going to do it that way then the calves carrying a horn gene wouldn't matter because you're breeding them back homo polled...I agree that there are some great horned cattle out there though. I really like the L1s myself and do intend in the future to use some horned bulls and keep some heifers from them. There are also great polled bulls out there aswell though if you look hard enough. I think it all depends on what breeders are closet to you, price, and what you want to deal with as far as dehorning or not. I think there are great cattle in both varities though and whether you go horned or polled those crossbred calves won't miss a beat. [/QUOTE]
