[QUOTE="BC, post: 1254931, member: 67"] When a spotted calf comes off a trailer with a bunch of conservatively marked animals ( solid color), the purchaser goes to picking that animal apart. Why ask for that grief? Another thing about the half LH calves is they look real good until they get to close to 700 lbs, then the LH influence kicks in gear. They do not have the muscle thickness or bone and the feedlot performance is typically not as good as more traditional beef cattle. I had a wise old sale barn operator tell me that if you had LH cows, breed to a polled Charolais bull and don't let the calves get much bigger than 350 lbs (sell before the LH influence shows up).
