Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire New Bulls

Seems odd but holstein steer calves are rated highly at the locker plants, too...

I have both red and black Angus bulls. Their calves sell at the livestock exchange, what more can I say.

P.S. Charolais bulls have been in the herd, too.

Have a guy up the road that raises red angus. Buy one a year to fill up the deep freezers of mine and my mom. Averages about $3 a pound butchered.

Not my style of Angus. I looked hard at Ohlde, but they arent raised on fescue or heat. Seemed like an up hill battle.
Calvo family would be my next stop for Reds.



I have a Murray named Yogi in the AI tank. Along with several Herefords from this company.

All depends on what you are after.

This is jwp475s little pet.

Thanks Dave
He is 3 1/2 in the photo. I cross on my Angus cattle adds immunity and low birth rates
He weighed 1200 pounds at 25 1/2 months

Those horns would look nice on the front of of a 1968 Cadillac.

Many hours? Thats what they make EPDs for. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree in Iowa either it seems.

In 1988, n Angus cow, number 149, had me on her back. I'm glad she was a poled breed. I retired that number for many years.

This is thread is really strange.

Had a neighbor's longhorn bull get in our cows one year out west of here...

Had 9 crossbred longhorns result from that.

Our cattle buyer had a sharp eye and cut them all out. Every single one.

Had to load those SOB's in the trailer and drive them over 100 miles to the sale barn, where they brought what longhorns generally bring through the sale ring....

Next year I had 5 calves that were longhorns. I just put them in a pen by IH10 and put a sign by the pens saying "Free Calves!"

Came back that afternoon, and I'll be damned if there weren't 8 head of longhorns in there!

(Kidding about the last part... but not about having to take the cut out ones to the sale.)

Time was when a cow needed horns to protect her calf.

Must have been a small bull. I cross mine on Angus and no one knows the difference

Longhorn beef is lower in fat and collestrol than white meat chicken

Yeah, it was a small bull. But tore the hell out of my pens before the owner came and got it.

Yeah, longhorns are lower in fat. But that's why they have an earned reputation for being tough. Some folks want fat on their beef for a reason.

I process and sell longhorn beef and it isn't tough as long as it isn't overcooked. Without the fat longhorn beef cooks faster and should be cooked on lower heat. I think it is the best tasting hamburger I've ever eaten
