Longhorn x calf

[Rustler9]

Here's a heifer out of my 17 year old Hereford x Beefmaster cow out of a Longorn bull. She's about three months old in the picture.

Hybrid vigor?

i like the look of it, but i think it's back looks a little flat, is that in the breed of the cows?

:shock:
Not sure what llman meant. You want a good straight back line. Looks like she has plenty of loin muscle and lots of volume. Really nice heifer. Don't like the dip in front of the tail head, but that's being picky.
I didn't expect such a meaty 3 month old heifer out of longhorn!

Here's a pict of a Longhorn/Hereford cross steer, if my memory is correct he's four months old in this picture. These crosses have been grading "High Choice" when butchered.

I must be looking at a different heifer then the others. Short body, bad topline, light boned but she is fat

Dun,
I thought the same thing as you did. She looks as if she breaks a lil behind the front shoulder, and her tail set is questionable, too. I would definantly like to see her bigger boned, especially b/c she is a cross, We have bigger boned straight longhorns. But she could be worse.

Here's one of our 7 month old bull calves. "RAF Phantom's Cowboy". He is by our 1800# black bull, out of a red lineback cow.

That's a good looking cow. Is she out of Salida Slick?

Bill,
Looks like Gracie is doing a good job.

Bill,
Looks like Gracie is doing a good job.

Thanks Ryan!

Gracie has been doing very well and/or seems to out-produce herself. She has given us heifers mostly and her calves have sold easily.

Thanks! Yup! She's "Salida Slick X Bailer Out". Dang good temperament too.

She also gave us a real nice blue roan heifer in 2004: "Coal Smoke X Salida Sleek"
