[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1683677, member: 40587"] I raised roping cattle back in the 80's and early 90's, and when team penning took off in the mid 90's, I started breeding my Criolo cows...Longhorn, Corrientte, Fla Cracker and Piney Woods, to Angus and Brangus bulls. I always used homozygous for black bulls, and all of these calves were black and polled. For a few years I had 2 or 3 Correinte x Watusi or LH x Watusi, and these cows sometimes had horned calves, but they were all solid black. You'd see 7-8 month old calves getting on their knees to nurse a Corrientte mother. Now days, people are breeding for black Corriente cattle, with the prospect of using them to cross on Angus bulls. There is absolutely no way to make more money off your cow-calve operation than using these cattle and Brangus bulls. Very low initial costs too buy the cows. They thrive on marginal pasture, weeds, scrub brush, weeds and briars. There is zero calving problem and they have plenty of milk. Heat, cold, parasites and insects to not bother them. And, they wil wean off a black calf every bit as an Angus or Hereford cow would wean. [/QUOTE]
