[QUOTE="chippie, post: 681386, member: 5644"] I have owned Longhorn x Holstein cross heifers. This was a long time ago (25 years or so.) A relative with a Holstein dairy bred his first calf heifers to a longhorn bull. I got them when they were a couple of days old. They were attractive calves, mostly white with traditional longhorn markings ( dark edged ears, dark around the nose, dark legs, and spotty on the body). They ended up with an average frame, hatchet-assed, no meat (muscling), and ugly. I didn't keep them. They didn't bring anything either. The relative didn't repeat the cross because no one wanted the offspring. After saying this, please remember that I do like longhorns... especially Ryan's. I also had a Longhorn Watussi x Jersey oops calf. A neighbor had a longhorn watussi bull that roamed the country side. He jumped into our pasture when one of our Jersey cows was in heat. The calf was born with huge horn buds - about 1/2 long. I didn't keep her very long. She was as silly as they come. [/QUOTE]
