[QUOTE="TxStateCowboy, post: 213262, member: 2989"] Most of my angus/brangus sired longhorn calves have come out black and white spotted. One angus sired calf out of a tan/white cow came out solid black with an inch of white on the tail switch. a limo bull has produced great results for terminal offspring for us- solid red polled calves that have little longhorn look to them. I don't pay too much attention to colors- even though it is more profitable- I prefer to pay attention mainly to health/body of the animals i'm breeding and their utility. (their longevity/hardiness is most important to me). I understand the color schemes going on but don't intend on trying to produce a uniform color (or assortment of) as much as a uniform quality animal. If my bull and heifers were solid color i'd think they were just as good animals. You've got the right idea to add some LH influence in your commercial herd. Many ranchers recognize their qualities (a good one is their grazing and foraging) and I love 'em as my primary commercial producers as well as for quality breeding. [/QUOTE]
