Longhorn Cross

[Farm Fence Solutions]

Cattle of any breed can be protective. If he got a horn up his A he might learn to leave nature alone?

Is it a Labatts kind of night up there? :lol:

Stupid iPhone took me to an early post about someone lifting a calves tail up to see sex and momma went after it lol.

I had a calf born last year about this time that looked just like that one, but mine was only 1/16 Longhorn.

What kind of the other breed you cross with the Longhorns?

 

[mpassmore85]

I'd like to know also. We have about 90 or so bulls for our commercial cattle all registered pure bred angus, Simmental, beef booster etc. Kinda wanna see what they could do. All my longhorns are solid red or black except for 3 or 4

 

[Muddy]

Beef booster? What's that

The spell check/auto correct version of a Beefmaster......I'd guess.

Google Beefbooster and Beefmaster totally different. Beef master is a Brahman cross. Beefbooster is British breed cross developed in Calgary

Same age.... different sires of different breeds...
Left calf is a Charolais x Longhorn and the right calf is full longhorn calf. Pic belongs to a good friend.

No wonder the buyers are fooled, you can't tell there's a lick of longhorn in him.looks like a purebred Charolais . :cowboy:

If he had been dehorned he would pass for a Black Hereford. ;-)

90 bulls? Wow. Purebred Beefboosters? Do they come with registration papers? The neighbors got hosed if yours have them.

As an order buyer friend of mine can be quoted...... "Beefboosters are most bastardized mongrel "breed" anyone ever thought up."

I have seen a lot of them personally, no consistancy in colour, shape or sixe. They don't top the market here but they a a damsite better than longhorns.

Beefbooster,haven't heard of them before,..just looked, looks like their a Canadian thing.. are all of them bast@rds, are there any legitimate ones??

I don't believe so. There is a book called "The Ranch" written by Sherm Ewing that describes how they got to be. There is supposedly no such thing as a Beefbooster cow. There are 4 or 5 lines of bulls some maternal, some terminal and one heifer line. Quite sure the breeders run multi sire pastures and don't worry about DNA on the calves.

Last year a big percentage of their yearling bulls got marketed to feedlots as they didn't have enough customers to buy them.

Several partners produce the bulls.

We have a neighbor that runs longhorn and longhorn crosses. All have horns and are multi colored. He has 2 Homozygous Black bulls he uses. He gets 100% black every year and no horns. And the calves are big bulky great looking calves.
