[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1774900, member: 40587"] Lot of hybrid vigor... heterosis ..in this cross. Zero shared DNA between the breeds. Most LX x Brahmas are taller and heavier than either LH or Brahma are. This cross is usually part of a bucking bull breeding program. Those Plummers I had was part of the payment on a horse I had on consignment. The owner wanted $5k, and this old boy that had these cows wanted it bad. I told him he could get the horse for $7500. He had 5 of these cows, and offered them and $6k for the horse. That would be like him getting $300 each for them. I gave the horse owner $5500. and he gave me $440 commission. Plus I kept the other $500 out of the $6000. I sold one of them on the way to the Kudzu pasture with them for $750, so I only had 4 in there. Had they not been free, ( actually I got paid $940 to take them) I would not have given more than $250-$300 each for them, even if I wanted them. Which I did not. For $250 to $300 I could buy another Corriente. So basically I ended up with 4 free cows plus $940 plus $750. Hell, if they had been minis, I would have taken them if I got paid $1690 to do so.
