[QUOTE="BLACKPOWER, post: 21514, member: 92"] In no way shape or form do I think this is a bash to Angus. What "Guest" said is true. If he wants as close to 100% calving ease as he can a longhorn will be the way to go. "Guest" didn't say by breeding longhorn he would realize more profit just that Longhorns will have a higher rate of calving ease and I don't think there's anyone on this board that would disagree with that. Yearling bulls are a crapshoot in any breed, i've seen adjustments in bw, ww, yw, and milk change considerabily after progeny are born. In my high intensive management program I think breeding longhorns to my angus heifers is assinine and I would kind of think of them as "tainted" BUT there are many people on this board who don't have a clue what breeding their cattle have and don't WATCH their heifers calve and if they do they don't know what to do with them. For these people I say breed your 600 lb @ calving heifers to a longhorn you are probably money ahead. [/QUOTE]
