Looking at getting some brush cows to run on a lease place in Southwest louisiana question is would I be better off with longhorn or Corriente cows. I'll end up running a beef bull on them more than likely
Any market for rodeo calves?holm25 said:Neither. Mow it and get some real cows.
Lol I'd go with longhorns and a Char bull before a corriente...
I'd have no problem selling the calves 1/2 my family rope 1/2 my friends ropeEbenezer said:Any market for rodeo calves?holm25 said:Neither. Mow it and get some real cows.

In that case, go with the corriente to keep the horns shorter for roping. :2cents:DCA farm said:I'd have no problem selling the calves 1/2 my family rope 1/2 my friends ropeEbenezer said:Any market for rodeo calves?holm25 said:Neither. Mow it and get some real cows.

Brute 23 said:Neither... Brahman, maybe crosses or a composite breed. A small place like that would be perfect to start a nice herd.

Iits 37 acres 16 pasture/16 woods and cut over 5 acres of road front pasture that has a restriction on it and can't be grazed. In your opinion while Brahman cattle utilize 16 acres of woods and cutover enough to even bother fencing it in. It's a family members land won't cost me a yearly note to put cows on it. I may just fence in the grazable and run heavy Breds on it

Yes the hustle and eat a lot of the things like LH... and you can get real money for them. That would be a great place to have a little herd of pure bloods if you have the capital to get in the game. I bet you could potentially even go with 1/2 or 3/4 bloods if you wanted to stay with terminal calves.
Post a pic of the "woods" and pasture. That will tell us a lot more. It has to be really bad... I mean really bad... to justify a LH. In that kind of country, that requires LH, you have to have a ton of acres to run any kind of numbers.

Not sure how to post pictures the pasture section just needs to be bushogged or burned and let the grass come backed it's been bush hoggd 3x a year every year except last year it rained so much he didn't bother doing it the woods are mostly oaks and a few pines the cut over was all pine that was aloud to grow up after trees were cut
