[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1419069, member: 22295"] The L1's have a lot to offer. Many don't have the muscling I desire. Most have strong maternal traits. I notice a difference between the Station cattle, the Holden cattle and the Cooper cattle. In my view the Cooper cattle are very uniform. Several breeders have been very successful crossing the L1's with other lines including Canadian lines. Two brothers not far from me were very successful doing that and you will still see their prefix in some pedigrees. We purchased some L1's heifers this winter. They have a lot of growth. One heifer weighed 990 at 13 months of age and never any creep. After being weaned off her mother she was run on wheat. That is as big as anything else her age in this area. We will turn the bulls in with them this weekend. The one issue I watch for is I've seen some structural unsoundness. You find it is alot of cattle regardless of breed or pedigree. That and the muscling issue. If you are selective in how you mate them I think you will be very satisfied. [/QUOTE]
