[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1393504, member: 24816"] I have been thinking of fattening a few calves to sell for beef. Have one reserved now. Most of my cattle are Angus, Hereford, or BWF, but do have some Gert and GertX, and a Brahman x Hereford. I am wondering how calves from those cows would do for beef. The basis for my question is when someone came to visit and saw a catalog for a Santa Gertrudis sale on a table, he made some negative comments in regard to their carcass quality, saying that an animal with any percentage Brahman would never marble. I would think that a significant percentage of beef comes from Brahman cross cattle, and that maybe it's more marketing and promoting of other breeds. I am interested in knowing whether or not an Angus or Hereford sired calf from say a Santa Gertrudis cow, would make a good quality beef. I'm not trying to stir up anything, I like Brahman crosses very much, I just don't have much experience with end product of beef in general. [/QUOTE]
