[QUOTE="Third Row, post: 212760, member: 3823"] That practice basically destroyed the Simmental breed down here. Buyers are so scared of buying Longhorn cross cattle that they avoid buying anything with even a hint of it including anything with spots. Those calves will grow good until they are weaned but once they hit the feedlot they ruin bottom lines. There are plenty of calving ease beef type bulls that will make calving season easier without screwing over the people who eventually buy your cattle. While Longhorn cattle have a lot of uses, claiming they have a legitimate place in beef production is a bit of a stretch. [/QUOTE]
