what's your basis for this comment?jerry27150":2nlz1jbw said:should be a great improvement from the belties
What do you mean? I thought use a BB bull cover over beltie cross cows would resulted in heavy crossbred calves. Of course these belties has more than 75% angus in them.Jake":5a99fu90 said:Taurus":5a99fu90 said:I was thinking about using our neighbors' BB bull on the beltie cross cows....yay or nay?
I have a question for you. What would you be gaining with that cross that making up for not having more mainstream genetics?

when it comes to being efficient,, wont find many that can live on nothing, like the longhorn.....the only way id breed longhorns would be to select within the breed, for beefy types.... and try to keep all the other quailties like rustling, mothering and keeping those perfect udders, that seem to be prevalent in the breedJake":1qf0a61s said:ga.prime":1qf0a61s said:It's all about the economically attractive buy in costs.
Thats always been my personal issue behind even say breeding up longhorns into more efficient cattle. Depending on what your end goal is, I would think it would be easier and just as cheap to buy low quality "normal" cattle and turn them into something with added value.

Hey I will be honest and say that I don't like them. Can understand the allure for some people. I just like my cattle to look like peas in a pod.
