[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 141250, member: 9"] Don't know prices for Longhorns or others in your part of the country. However, my "guess" would be that a NON-Registered LH heifer, bull, or cow would probably sell for at least sale barn price and up, depending on supply & demand. On the other hand, the REGISTERED Longhorns sell for more. I've seen some registered LH calves advertised for as little as $600 to $800. but that is perhaps the exception. However, the majority of the registered calves I have seen are priced in the $1000 to $3000 range (a LOT depends on conformation, pedigree, horn, etc.). One can probably expect a 6-7 month old weaned LH calf to range anywhere between about 400 and 600 lbs. There are some "late bloomers" that may only weigh in the 300 to 400 lb range, especially if they are from smaller framed parents. The LH cattle are slower to mature than other breeds; however, their longevity and breeding life offsets any delay in reaching mature size and/or about 650 lbs at breeding age of around 14 months. Not unusual for a longhorn cow to still produce a good calf in her late teens or early 20's. And, the LH bulls are just "middle aged" and still producing well at 8, 10, 12 years old (or older).
