[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1023736, member: 12607"] Probably not necessary for most operations east of the Mississippi, where folks are actually watching those calving heifers, but I know of several big purebred outfits out west that use LH bulls on their Angus heifers - these girls are running on BIG pastures- thousands of acres - and not necessarily going to be seen in the act of calving - they want these first-timers to calve out easily with a calf that's gonna get up fast, she can love it up, and figure out what she needs to do to be a good mama. They look at that ANxLH calf as a 'coupon' - if she redeems her coupon, she gets to stay as a cow. Better a smaller/lesser quality calf - that someone will buy - than a dead one, and possibly a dead heifer to boot. Here's one - lengthy, but worth reading: [url=http://www.keeneyscorner.com/t163-longhorns-horse-butte-ranch]http://www.keeneyscorner.com/t163-longh ... utte-ranch[/url] [/QUOTE]
