dont need to talk to a stock contractor ive roped plenty longhorn and CORRIENTE both in rodeos and backyard arena's ..even put a few strap on horn's on some cheap muleyshopalong":w6rnt7nn said:somn":w6rnt7nn said:These LH/Corriente crosses you speak of to me sound exactly like a Nascar Nextel Cup Monte Carlo. If you ask Jeff Gordon about his Dupont Monte Carlo he is going to say this thing is awesome nothing better has ever been made. Same type of things you hear from longhorn breeders. GM and 99% of the cattlemen in America also have something in common. Neither will be reproducing said products in any large scale production. Why you ask because both know said products are novelties that normal car owners and cattle men will not buy. But yet both will continue to be made on a very limited run because there is that very very small percentage that thinks man these things are awesome.Rustler9":w6rnt7nn said:But alot of ropers like LH/Corriente crosses. At least I've seen alot of them go through sales. A guy who breeds registered Corriente in this area bought several of our LH bull calves because he likes to cross them for ropers and he also says the LH's have more stamina but they get too big too quick. I'm not really in the roping business but I've been told this from more than one person who is.
That is exactally why the corriente are favored over the LH cross! They grow too fast and are not ropeable as long!!
Talk to the stock producers!! see what they want in their package when they are hauling the from show to show!
