[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 674725, member: 2653"] Why do I feel like my dad is scolding me and summing things up for me to have closure. Hmmm. First, I put "mutt" in on purpose to show my disdain for the philosophy of "diluting" a herd. Although it's not desirable to have a herd of heinz 57's because of calf diversity, anyone who ignores hybrid vigor does so at the expense of their pocketbook. Second, I have no problem with a Charolais bull. It would throw yellow calves with my beefmasters, which do sell good here. Just because I don't have a Charolais bull now, doesn't mean that I can't get one. Third, I have already done a good bit of research on this subject, and considered many angles. I posted this thread to invite comments from experienced longhorn cattlemen (which I am not) that may know something that I haven't thought about, not for criticism from people who don't like that I'm thinking about trying something different. Although I am not an experienced longhorn breeder, I'm far from a rookie with cattle. if I misunderstood your post, then I am sorry. If not, then please re-read. [/QUOTE]
