[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 674344, member: 2653"] The thought is not to sell calves at half the price. I don't worry about dilution, I'm not a seedstock breeder. Dilution is another word for heterosis which is another word for mutt. The thought was to have docile momas that were long lived and hearty and could handle the heat. (This week my brangus' tounges have been dragging with heat indexes 110+) If a longhorn cow could provide that while producing a decent calf, what's the harm? The only problem I see so far is the weird colored calves. I'd have to sell those separately or take a hit on everything. I've seen too many pics of Ryan's calves to know that longhorns can raise some fine looking calves. So I progressed to the point of considering using them crossed with my normal bulls. [/QUOTE]
