holstien/brahman make great mama cows...because of their milk, they raise a good calf when crossed with a beef breed..i had them for a while, but as mamas they seemed to fall off a lot (become thin) while raising their calf...i couldn't keep the mamas with a good body condition...sold them...

i plan to put a charolais bull with my charolais cows this year and keep the heifers...they will all be registered stock, but i don't want to be in the "seed stock", or "registered" buisness..it is just something i like to keep..my question is this...has anyone had experience with straight bred...

Charolais.....when your white your right!!!

over 5 lbs a day impressive...how do you get a point anything on frame score? 7.2 or5.9???

I said I saw mostly "black cattle" who knows what they were...now days all you know when you buy black is that it is black..it my be Simm, angus, limo., branuv...even herford...but when you see that white, yellow , cream colored calf you know what you are getting...

sure wish i had known about these guys a week ago..i did see some charolais when we were driving through the Blackfeet reservation...i would have loved to stop and talk to some charolais people while i was up there...maybe next year...the people i talked to ran Choteau tradingpost...seemed like...

i spent a short vacation in Montana last week..saw some nice cattle and met some nice people...saw mostly black cattle..but did see a few herds of Charolais...a rancher in Choteau Mt. told me that charolais mamas didn't work because of the winter sun reflecting off the snow blistered charolais...

I spoke to a guy at LSU about this very subject...breeding a F1 bull to a straight bred female...there has been a study that concludes if the brahma influence is on the sire side the resulting calf will be born larger...the cross doesn't work as well because the F1 female provides a greater...

Why wouldn't a weight within a week of birth be suitable? couldn't it be adjusted like weaning weight? It would provide one with more time to honestly weigh the calf..The day could be noted if that makes a difference....This is the first year I have tried to weigh calves and it is proving...

I have a weigh tape..and I have a scale...if the mother is overly protective and gives birth in pasture getting the calf away from its mother on birth date is very hard.....I guess two or three guys could distract the mother while weighing the calf, but I just don't see how a seed stock producer...

How soon after birth is birth weight determined? If I happen to be around right at birth I may be able to get it..but after that mama gets her bearings, it would take the best cowboy in Texas to get that calf weighed...After a day or two I can usually get the calf separated without too much...

I plan to AI 10 cows early spring..They are purebred (what is the difference between purebred and full blood?) I would like to keep the female offspring for replacements, and sell the bulls...Typically, would a person be better off using several different AI bulls or one?

one for every cow

is there a service where one can enter data on heifers or cows (maybe epd's or actual data) and they be matched with bloodlines or AI sires that would improve offspring? is this crazy?

Brahamn/Holstien heifers make a prety good mama cow...The bull calves are better left alone..The trouble I have with the heifers is that while they raise a good calf and give plenty of milk, they really fall apart while the calf is sucking.. they give so much to the calf it is hard to keep the...

I use a herford bull, and love him..The angus cows will have bald face calves that will sell great, especially the heifers you can sell all of them from you farm at $600 + at 7-9 months old...The tiger cross calves will be great also..they will bring top dollar in your area weaned calves 500...
