Whitch Breeds to Raise

Charolais is probably the best to cross with a longhorn, adds meat and since they are longhorn cows you don't need to worry about calving ease...

Shorthorns are crossed frequently with angus and hereford. makes a good cows, and if you get the roan off of them they sell well too... as long as they don't look to show-like. Those seem to get docked around here.

Todd - judging from your user name, I'd say the best breed would be corriente. There's usually a pretty good market for good dogging and roping stock. You could lease them out or sell them. Just make sure they have a good horn base.

We cross longhorn with angus both black and red. we get great looking calves but have too many spots for most sale houses. need to sale privitely. :cboy:

I heard that no matter what you do a corriente will never bring more than 300 dollars in any sale barn in the country.
