@K C Farm do you plan to grain feed them or grass only? Do you have quite a bit of pasture for them and good grass? If you have enough pasture and good grass, you might consider buying a cow/calf pair, let her raise the calf then sell the cow and buy another pair that way you always have a calf...

Curious if anyone has used Aberdeen Angus to breed first calf heifers? Should be very easy calving on a full size heifer. There's a pretty big outfit around here that uses corriente bulls on heifers for easy calving, last I talked to him he said they never lose a heifer or calf that way. My...

They’re built a lot like a halter bred quarter horse.

Nice, thick built heifers, they look great.

Pharo cattle company has a lowline in their line up with semen available, his name is Machine, he is listed under their black angus.

I wouldn't give up on the lowlines if that's what you think you have the market for, I'd just select more carefully. I have a friend that started with some dexters with a mini hereford bull on them saved heifers and now has a lowline red angus on them. They are all gentle. They're good looking...

Always go with your instincts on buying things, it would've been easier to pull an empty trailer than end up with something you don't want. But, I've been there before too and it sucks having buyers remorse. I drove a days drive one time to buy a used truck, a ford dealer had it, pictures looked...

Day to day management really shouldn't be any different with these than standard angus and I would imagine temperament would be more related to that individual animal than the breed itself. I'm curious as to why such a bad experience?

Good looking cattle.

I'm not a fan of the bull at all, looks sway backed for one. Your cows and heifers on the other hand look great.

Want to say thanks again for all the opinions.....I agree with every comment you guys had as having validity......as a small background on myself & therefore how I've came to this opinion ....ive had quite a few Corriente & Longhorn cows bred both ways over the years.....for the last several...

18-24 months old, I've sent them at around 14 months old and meat was good but better to wait so than can grow enough frame first. I like hanging weights between 650-750, I'm sure there are some that have big framey cattle that can those hanging weights earlier but that's not been my experience.

I've had several criollo/beef crosses colored like that.

@BFE, good job stirring the pot, we're now 17 pages and 322 replies into this deal :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. I've noticed most of the LH/corriente threads are long like this though.

Around here they'll rope anything that has a good set of horns, bull or heifer. And they run them through the chute several times in a day and sometimes multiple times a week. Not as many people roping as used to be in this area but used to there was a small backyard roping or 2 going on...

This right here. I have a few people that have never owned cattle that want to get into them, I always recommend starting with criollo type cattle. They're cheap to buy, easy to maintain and you'll have to work at killing them and they are forgiving of mistakes. I wish someone had directed me in...

The ones I had I called a LH but they weren't true longhorns probably a cross of LH and other criollo type cattle. 3 of them weighed in the neighborhood of 750-800, 1 around 700 and another around 1000. I could get their calves to 1000 lbs by 18 months old and get about a 625lb carcass. That was...

I really like that lighter colored one with the white face in the last picture and that red one with white on her back in the first picture, but I like the looks of all of them.

That's a nice looking bull.

I don’t have any of them anymore but they were bred to a black baldy bull when I got them and I bred them to ultra black. The one with the biggest horn died of what I believe was Johnes, she had all the symptoms, another one died after calving problems. The calf got a leg and head out and other...
