What I don't get is 1/4 Herf 1/4 SH 1/2 Brahman bred to 1/2 Herf 1/2 Brahman has no positive only negative from the SH color gene. You end up with a 50%Brahman 44% Herf 6% SH. Put an Angus or Herf bull on those F1 and you have a winner. Worst cross I ever had was Limm Brahman absolutely nuts...

Yea but what for? You're breeding half Brimmer to half Brimmer. I would rather have the F1 than the BM with the SH color gene that doesn’t play by the rules.

That is not funny ! I will have to spray paint that freeze brand now!

Angus

This cattle business is pretty simple, grass in front of the cow, bull behind.

Not if she has Char in her. I have some that color and you get a black calf about half the time. That Char color gene doesn't play by the rules. Every one of these calves is out of a homozygous black bull. SH, LH and Char don’t play by color rules, African horn gene doesn’t play by polled rules.

Had one that gave me 19 bull calves. Vet at A@M said it was a Ph issue with the cow.

Forgot to add that girl is 20 years old.

I have a blood tiger. The stripes are real faint.

To build on what Brute said you need to use a good English bull on them. The Gerts will handle the cold just fine. Most American Brahman will hair over fine as

Just wait till calves hit the ground! They will mash the scales come weaning. You're going to be amazed at the extra pounds they bring . I don’t think that bunch will work for you, I can pick them up after the holidays.

We have all hauled a cull or inferior cow to the barn that should go in Wolf Brand Chili. You’re dead on back forty cattle hurt us all.

Man has to have some standards.

Wrong again the Brangus and Branford's were created standardized composite to fill a need. LSU created Brangus to help cattlemen in southern climates to produce better cattle in an environment where English and Continental cattle couldn't thrive due to heat and parasites.They needed something...

Not really they bring nothing to the table. You gained virtually nothing with the English English composite. You have lost the hybrid vigor of Brahman/English or Continental cross Just like you lost the Continental/ English cross. The only cross worse is Angus/ Shorthorn and that's just science...

There are no black Herefords that’s snake oil . The AHA doesn’t recognize them.

Is it an upgrade? That would be the opposite direction I would head. consistencies in the calf crop are all that matter. I would looking for a better cow that brings longevity.

Uncle used to run 250 head of gerts , I still have anger issues over dealing with that breed in my youth. One head fly up the other 249 were to follow and be white eyed! The only thing that stopped them from being carnivorous was no top teeth.
