[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 799272, member: 694"] Your right about picking the right cow here it needs at least an 1/8th Brimmer prefer 3/8. Finding a cow that will put weight on a calf in this heat and humidity is the trick and she will have some Brimmer in her. Again you are correct in finding the most efficent terminal bull to put on this set of cows. There is really no good reason here in this enviroment to pull the bull, you really only have to worry about hay Dec. through Feb. Heat is the big issue I have seen many breeds here through the years and they come and go, because they can't put the pounds on the calf in this heat except the queen of the gulf coast and that is a Brimmer cross momma. Different cattle for different enviroments, you run a straight bred Angus or Hereford through the sale ring and you are going to get your feelings hurt, cause when that Brangus or Tiger come through they are going to out sale you by the hundreds of dollars.
