we have one of the largest Longhorn herds in Mexico, and to say the truth if you are not raising them purebred for lean meat anything you cross to them will be good.CopeMan":2ovr6o6u said:What would be better for Longhorn cows?

I have bred some Charolaise and Simmental heifers to Longhorns and they really have muscle, I don't breed English so i don't know how well will they do.lazyhill":3a289fzd said:Interesting question and I've never crossed any of my longhorns or brangus with each other. To be honest, I'm not sure what it would produce as far as quality.
Anyway, I'm going to take a guess on this one. I would think that the British cross would produce better. A neighbor of mine bought a couple of longhorns from me and keeps them in the same pasture as his black angus cows. He breeds them to bulls of their own breed and does not cross-breed. Anyway, the longhorns he bought from me are really the same height but just are not a heavy as the angus.
The British cows should add more marbling and weight whereas I would think that the continental would add more muscle and size. I would think that the mass and marbling would be more beneficial.
I would be curious to hear others thoughts.

No It is not a crime to ask questions. I never insinuated that it is.CopeMan":2om8hwcm said:la4angus":2om8hwcm said:CopeMan":2om8hwcm said:What would be better for Longhorn cows? British or Continental?and what color of these bulls would most likely cut out the splashiness' of longhorns?

No, this is a Cattle question/answer board, Soo I have qusetions about cattle, is that such a crime. Im interested in cattle. Im an Angus man myself, but that dont mean I cant find out infromation. What so wrong with asking questions , youll never know if you dont ask. Dont even try to piss me off, because you wont because I enjoy these posts alot, and I enjoy your posts, you know a lot about cattle. So I ask you, why do you have to open your mouth and say something?
No Problem on this end.CopeMan":16ge30of said:Well thats fine, I hope we can put this behind us and enjoy each others posts. I appreciate your info.
