[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 271113, member: 440"] By crossing the Longhorn with another beef breed you get more lean meat efficiently. I think in some cases the buyers are fooled or they must like the crosses if they do know the difference. We've sold Longhorn crosses that were black for $1.20 per pound, same price as other black calves that day at the sale barn. So what does that mean? They did know the difference but liked them, they didn't know the difference and thought they were some other type of black cattle that could classify as CAB? Who knows? Still, they cross well with other beef breeds, there's just alot of folks who either don't know or won't admit it. A Longhorn cow can raise more pounds of beef at less cost. [/QUOTE]
