[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4210"] Interesting! Yes, Longhorns will briefly juggle for position in the herd if new ones are introduced. The one "snortin'" cow was possibly one with some "wild" blood/personality in her. Don't know anything about temperament of Charolais and what effect it would have on x-breeding w/longhorns. Yes, $300 a head was probably a combination of "sale barn" prices, aged cows, and longhorn type. My guess is that they were destined for slaughter...especially if they weren't "high end" pedigrees, were old, and/or some kind of financial distress sale by consigner. The better Longhorns that are consigned for sales are usually taken to a special Longhorn sale/auction where the prices are much better and buyers are looking for Longhorns.
