[QUOTE="blackgloves, post: 684668, member: 13144"] HIlls: Agreed with everything you said. The ones that are pure bred and raised on very small ranches to sell as "ornaments" do bring big bucks. They must have desirable hides and horns though or they dont sell very well at all. Ive driven by ranches though that have LHs for large ranches that aren't being raised for the typical "ornament" types. Ive ran into many people that are using them to cross. Just never understood it. Their is so many good breeds out there to cross with or to use for "pure breeding" I knew a guy in Austin that bought my cousins Simmental steer because its hide looked like a longhorn. In Austin or Texas theres lots of folks that want this kinda thing because they went to the university of Texas. Thats why he bought it, he had it slaughtered for its hide The last time I went to the auction was Dec 08. LH's were bringing in the .20+ range which was way below the other breeds that came through. Which included mostly Limousine, Angus, Brahman and Hereford. [/QUOTE]
