Found this just looking around, there is a pic on the site of a cross they had mounted, but I don't think they crossed with pure Longhorns.

Dont understand why any one would cross these two for beef purposes. steaks from them would be like chewing on gravels. i got brahman cross cattle. and have nothing againts longhorn.but that aint a good combo

If it were all about the best beef, why does everyone not raise Murray Grey????? :lol:
You are right in a lot of ways. LH can add the ability to thrive in tough range, disease resistence etc.. Bos indicus adds the same traits. Most of us in the south are using bos indicus (Brahman) bloodline crosses. If not for bos indicus, we would like use LH

I want to retain the heifer calves, from the Longhorn Brahman cross, and breed those back to a Charlosis bull.

You are kind adding an extra step that is not necessary with the LH,, in my opinion.
Just breed the Brahmans straight to the Charlosis and be done with it.
They make some great momma cows. I saw some on a ranch a while back. I talked to the owner and have been planning on getting some also. They were an off white/ yellow color, heavy bones, lot of muscle, good ear. Great looking animals. Looked like they were doing well down here.
What kind of bull are you going to put on that cross?

You're dead on Brute. My favorite is a yellow F1 Brahman/Char cross. Picked her up at the Dublin sale and should have taken more just like her that went through that night. Thick, long, and lots of milk for the calves.

Yup... the Brahman X Longhorn would be kind of counter productive...the have similar strengths and weaknesses, so like said above you would be adding an extra step. It would be more productive to breed the longhorn to an angus or hereford, then to the charolais.

you living in kentucky i personally wouldnt want any ear on my momas. you take a calf to the sale like the one ryan has shown. you will be beat like a redheaded step child. now a brangus cow makes a good cross with a charolais.the trick to crossbreeding is two mate two breeds that compliment each other
