For those interested in pictures, the following represent a typical "lineback" color pattern that we see in our crosses. Interestingly enough, the white pattern is even manifested in our longhorn mothers that are solid in color. Once again, my apologies to the Pinzgaur breeders that have a hard time selling across the scales at the local auctions. Most buyers will assume the pinzgaur pattern is due to longhorn influence.
The crosses will typically bring 80 cents per pound while our Brangus calves will bring $1.20 per pound for a 500 lb calf. In other words, solid black brings $200 more per calf.
