[QUOTE="TxStateCowboy, post: 479181, member: 2989"] Compared to your average salebarn cattle, average Longhorns will: 1.Cost half as much. 2.Eat half as much. 3.Live twice as long. 4.Calves will sell for half as much (@auction). Longevity and hardiness is what makes the money for a cattleman with longhorns. We have several 18+ year old limousin/longhorn crosses down near uvalde that have produced $400 salebarn calves out of brangus bulls their entire life. The original longhorn cows cost about $300. Never need to be fed. This is called a profitable operation... and we all eat chile meat. This is also going by a commercial perspective, not breeder. [/QUOTE]
