:cowboy: ive seen em cross a fence with ease tooCaustic Burno":2np10v4v said:Black Coos":2np10v4v said:I would use a Black Angus bull, knock the Horns off and color them black, here in the mid-south.
In the deep south a Black Brangus would be the ticket.
If I lived in open country with a thousands of ac. and I had a 1000 LH's cows ,I would use a Black ( angus,bal.,brangus) Bull for 2 gen. and then a Hereford. I think I could live with 3/4BA X 1/4 LH cows breed to a Hereford bull.....In 20 years, you would have most of the Full LH"S died off, and the 1/2 breeds cull hard. You could do the same thing with Holstiens, A 3/4 Shorthorn and 1/4 hol. grass fed 3 years and grained finished makes some good eating...
My point is start with the best cattle that you can buy, NOT the most $, The best...I reather have 5 good cows than 20 bad ones...
I think the LH's thing went 3 or 4 ways....
1. HORNS
2. Heifer Bulls (30-40 years ago)
3. We love them ( not as beef cattle but like Buffalo )
4. Ruged , tough cows that has a place where other cows would died, (now we got Brimmers) who needs them?
The best thing to cross a longhorn with is the salebarn.
VanC said:Does it make some of you feel better about yourselves to run down an entire breed? If so, you have some issues you need to deal with that have nothing to do with Longhorns.
Fact is there are folks out there making good money with Longhorns and others with great looking cattle in the more "mainstream" breeds that are losing money hand over fist. Bottom line is if you don't think Longhorns have a place in your operation then don't use the dam things. There are others that use them and are successful at it. Deal with it.[/quote] hey if they like em,, im a hog about em...

You'll need a lot more pasture dun...that'll be about a 1 for 4 swap you'll be doing.dun":2hmq86tl said:Well I'm convinced. I'm gonna dump these crumby well muscled Red Angus and stock up on longhorns, maybe throw in a corriente or 2 just for spice
The other farm would be ideal. Nothing but 160 acres scrub and rocks. Haven;t gotten around to working on it yet so I could let them fix it for me.TexasBred":3s9y36r7 said:You'll need a lot more pasture dun...that'll be about a 1 for 4 swap you'll be doing.dun":3s9y36r7 said:Well I'm convinced.

Not a lot different than listening to people talk politics. People have a right to their opinion. Just where do you think we would be if we could not voice those opinions?bishopcattleco":3noxb8et said:I can see from these boards you listened to every word she said.Telling other people there sh.t is sorry.Man, thats something to be proud of.Who on these boards has never seen a cow jump a fence.
