Mine are cross bred. The heifer shown is half Lowline Angus. The polled gene is dominant.
This cow is half Longhorn and half Pineywoods:
This is her daughter at 2 years old. She's 3/4 Pineywoods. The new calf is the one shown above two years later.
Since the breed association doesn't recognize percentages, I figured there wasn't much point going all the way to the Gulf Coast for a Pineywoods bull. So, we have Lowline crosses.... but I love the black points and spotty look.  We get black ones half the time and they usally go into the freezer.
This is a Lowline/Pineywoods bull calf we are keeping this year.
