[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1458220, member: 17956"] I have a plethera of post on here, advocating breeding heifers to a LH or corriente bull. I've sold about all my half LH calves for the year, and I took a real beating. I will say, I had a pretty sorry bull. He amounted to a sperm donor. I "think" the one I used this spring will have better results. Long story short, I know what it cost to keep a cow for a year, and these calves won't cover momma's upkeep. A herd of corriente cows, bred to charlois bull, would be a little different story. Lower start up cost, and slightly lower inputs. I believe when its all said and done, half as many beef cows would be more profitable, than twice as many corriente cows. I have need for both tiedown calves and team ropers. It is cheaper to by them, than it is to raise them. [/QUOTE]
