[QUOTE="MOcowboy, post: 1495963, member: 32536"] I was wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with this cross? I have a small herd of 25 Registered Longhorns. and I am planning on experimenting with breeding a few to my Beefmaster bulls for the next few years to start a Commercial herd. I have raised few half bloods out of my Grade longhorns that made good cows and the calves did well at the sale barn that was out of a red limousine bull. But I believe using Beefmaster bulls will give me better Maternal traits to retain heifers. My overall goal is to get some LonghornxBeefmaster cross cows then throw my Dads angus bulls on them. I originally never attended to keep my longhorns I bought them cheap during the Drought in 2013 to through on some rough brushy land I have. All the Longhorns was bred to an Angus bull. I had a very good calf crop almost all the calves came out solid colored and the calf crop paid for itself and then some in the first calf crop. I used to think Longhorns was not worth having until I seen how well they did on that rough ground and how much less hay and input I put into them vs my Beef cattle. If anyone has any experience with the Longhorn X Beefmaster cross I would greatly appreciate any opinions or experience with them. Thanks [/QUOTE]
