Our Charolais Longhorn crosses have better legs and knees and a better butt already then this guy as well.

You'll do alright at the sale barn with that one Big cheese. Because it's a solid color and the price of calves are high. Your going to be hurting when the price goes of calves goes back down.
So your calling that calf a good quality heifer?

Looks like just what it is a Char longhorn cross. Sell them before you can see the longhorn from a mile away at a dead run.

You sell them to early you won't make anything because they won't weigh enough. They are already a little lighter because of having the Longhorn in them.

You need a better grade of longhorn cow then. Maybe bulls with better performance. I have seen this all done before.

Isn't that steer not out of Big Cheese's current bulls?

Exactly Muddy I stated that earlier. The calves out of our Bulls have way better butts and bigger legs then this calf. There is a considerable different. I have no idea what the sire of this calf looked like or if it was even a purebred.

On this calf, I suspect your check may be smaller and you have more into him by waiting to sell until this weight. Hopefully, I am wrong. When you sell him, please post how he does.

He will be sold straight off the momma we won't have nothing in him unless we decided to put him in our heifer pen and wean him then all we will have in him is maybe a weeks worth of feed before we put him in the pasture with our heifers. Very little $$$ will be in him if any.

Also we sell at 7-8 months old and this one just turned 8 so we haven't waited on him any. We don't decide to sell calves based on weight just age. We are looking to get $900-$1000 for him....over that and we will be really happy.

That's nice bull and nice set of yellow cows.

That bull will be perfect for you. I like the way he looks. Those calves out of those heifers will probably wean good and heavy as well.

Thought would share a picture that I took this afternoon of one of our Longhorn Charolais cross steers. This guy is 3 months old and is out of our Perfect President bull. Tell me what y'all think....
The libido and ability to detect heat early is amazing on a LH bull. My heifer bull goes through barbed wire, under electric, and over woven wire. Full time job keeping him where he belongs. He's 24 hours ahead of all other Bulls on the place detecting heat. I've seen it before in LH Bulls. Just thought I would share.
I don't "think" he has bred anything but heifers so far thankfully. He gets whipped everytime he joins the herd.
