no I don't raise them and they wouldn't be my first choice but they are and can be very productive cattle
and I still do have one I just keeep her hidden :lol:
From everything I have read and heard and tried if you are wanting to break the color and raise solid color calves a Charloias bull will do that the best
I have bred some to Limi, herefords and angus but most of the time you will still wind up with the wild color and therfore get docked some when selling
I think the limi put more weight on the calves than any other bull but they were still wild colored

Great answer, AC. Not that I have an answer to trin's question, but it's nice to see someone that doesn't automatically jump on the "longhorns are crap" bandwagon.
