[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 21173, member: 9"] Three to 8 YO cows are considered "Young" Longhorns--plenty of life left in them. DCCI is one of the top breeders/ranches in USA. We've bought from them too. "Shadow"(?)...if is bull I'm thinking of, he is black and a quality bull. What do you mean by "$700 a round?"--Do you mean $700 a head? The thought of roping, bulldogging after about 8 to 12 mos old is not realistic. By 205 days you would probably have a 450 to 650 lb calf. By One year old--600 to 800#. By 2 years old a 900 to 1200# animal. A Longhorn that has any potential for horn growth will have a minimum of a 24" horn tip-to-tip by 12 months of age (a little too long for the roping game). If the sire and dam are quality and produce quality calves, don't stress the calves out by roping or bulldogging them. Heifers ready to breed by 13-14 mos. old. If you want to do the roping thing, use a cheaper Longhorn--perhaps even a Corriente. [/QUOTE]
