Simbrah is far better breed than Brangus

superb, that's an excelent heifer

Fleckvieh = German Simmental, in Austria and Sourh Africa they raise fullblood Fleckvieh too

thanks, beign out working in my new farm, and just arrive from the Limousin and Romagnola National Fair in Guadalajara, Mexico were I obtain with my Romagnola cattle the male and female Grand Champions and with Limousin the Reserve Grand Champion Bull and the heifer Championship. Next week I...

Simmentals the best dual Purpose breed and Simbrah the "All purpose American Breed"

I prefer Brahman-Simmental cross as replacements and than an English breed. Brahman bull to Simmental cow if you prefer less ear use a Nelore Bull

put them a pair of sunglasses :lol: :lol: :lol: just joking, you need to get those calves used to the sunlight, your idea of the canvas is good

we are 90 degrees now here at the Rio Grande Valley

50% chop hay - 50 % corn, but corn-cotton hulls and grass works great

you will still have more than 50% English blood, remember Beefmaster is 50% English- 50% Brahman. My personal preference for beefmaster cows will be Simmental and I will keep the heifers and Limousin if selling all the calves

you also could try Limousin as a terminal breed and for sure you won't need to of have calving problems

I didn't wrote that, BUT as far as I know consumers relate Angus with meat, and many consumers don't even know what color it is, just cattleman relate Angus with Black hided cattle.

you will need almost 2 full years to really see the benefits or big differences in weight. I use to sell my steers at 10 months, so it won't worth to mess with any of the DM breeds

I A.I. several comercials and its good but for now I prefer Romagnola, just last year I began my Marchigiana herd

at least you should charge $200 the pair for breeding plus a daily rent of your pasture that it should be from $2-$4 but it also depends your location
