[QUOTE="Engler, post: 1258579, member: 4110"] My in laws have a handful of them, some pure and some crosses. The pures they have been keeping pure and selling the steers and second cut heifers for locker beef and been getting along good with them. The good heifers either get kept back or sold as show/breeding stock. The beef that we've had the last two years has been silly good and the cuts are more what we should eat in terms of portion size. The % cows were bred to a simi bull last year and to a char bull for this years calves. We have been selective in terms of picking low(er) BW bulls, but to date no problem with getting the calves on the ground. The 1/4-3/8 lowline calves sold right with the standard cattle. Keep in mind that we are talking about a total of 10 head of cows and this is a hobby for my brother in law to get him out of the house, so as long as it breaks even for him it's great. I wouldn't mind having some half LL cows that come in around 1100# to make commercial feeder cattle, but I sure wouldn't want a whole pasture full of 800# fullbloods trying to go to a conventional market.
