[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 893854, member: 8829"] it will work if you get the correct cross and can knock the wild color out of them and add some meat to them but that said I have a friend that runs % LH cows and still has some of the wild color His calves usually sell for $.10 to $.15 back of what top calves sell for and his input cost are lower as the LH cross cows will maintain themselves cheaper than a commercial cow when they don't have a calf on them and when he sells his cows at age 10 or 12 or older they will usually bring close to the same money he paid for them when the were 2 or 3 yr olds most of the EXPERTS on here say they are worthless but a person can make them work I sold an old full blood LH cow this yr that I bought in 1995 as a 3 yr old she calved every yr and raised some nice calves the best and biggest were from a Limi bull didn't break the wild pattern but he added lots of meat I paid $325 for the cow and sold her this yr for $512 as a weigh cow [/QUOTE]
