[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 81265, member: 9"] Here is our case study: Last year an area rancher had been losing cows and calves due to having to pull calves. He contacted us for a Longhorn Bull to help solve the problem. He had 2 other Beefmaster bulls (our Longhorn bull was #1 libido--beefmaster bulls didn't get any action except the 1 calf that had to be pulled). He was pulling 20-30% of his calves. Recently, he came to visit and was interested in buying 2 more of our Longhorn Bulls. He said out of 26 calves in his current crop (sired by the LH bull we sold him), NONE of the calves had to be pulled and all were very healthy. [Note: He lost another calf sired by his Beefmaster bull]. On a sidebar: Our LH calf crop (to date this year, more expected) has produced 8 calves ranging between 36 and 55# and all are healthy with no problems. We have a number of others due this April and May. We've fed a lot of hay and minerals and cubes this winter; however, it has paid off with healthy cows, calves, bulls; and, all probably have a BCS in the 5-6 range (even for Longhorns). [/QUOTE]
