[QUOTE="Jake, post: 21262, member: 4"] I don't understand why you would use any high percentage longhorn cattle. You sacrifice so much performance in the lot and you have calves that will get docked 99 out of 100 times. Come on these cattle bring lower prices for what reason oh yeah BECAUSE THEY'RE LONGHORN, wow what a concept. A private treaty angus bull that costs $1100-$1200 will out perform the longhorn that cost $1500. I can pick this angus bull out of the many that have low birth weight EPDs without sacrificing performance or money which I would do by using a longhorn. I know I sound like Blackpower but somethings just must have to be said... isn't the purpose of crossbreeding in this industry to make extra money why squandal it all away by using a longhorn? and if you want to order that the cows will out last angus or other such breeds make that point but if your keeping a 20 year old cow around and she is still meeting par you must not be doing much to improve your cowherd... Enough said Jake [/QUOTE]
