[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 297651, member: 440"] Breed your Longhorn cows to any beef breed bull that you like and I still say that you'll like the crossbred heifers. They make excellent moma cows. The calving ease and mothering ability is worth alot in my opinion. Of course, any time the Longhorn breed is mentioned you'll have the nay sayers but that's fine. That's what makes the world interesting. Boy, am I glad we have the different breeds and the freedom to choose what breed or breeds that we want to raise. I breed my Beefmaster and Beefalo cows to Longhorn bulls and the calves are great. The beef is excellent and the heifers can't be beat for brood cows. By the time you breed those half Longhorn heifers back to your beef bull of choice you have 1/4 Longhorn blood in your cows but still have the hardiness, milking and mothering ability plus the hybrid vigor. Charolais is still the best cross for market calves. [/QUOTE]
