[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 856211, member: 694"] The problem I have with the Beefmaster over your type of cows is you have pulled too many crayons out of the box to get a consistant heavy weaning calf. I am not picking on you this is just the opinon of an old fart. Here are my issues you have a composite bull consisting of Brammer/Hereford/Shorthorn genetics over Angus/Hereford gentics. Now the worst cross for hybred vigor is Shorthorn over Hereford followed by Shorthorn over Angus. Now if the Brimmer genetics show up on your calves your off to the races with pounds to run across the scales. With your type of cattle I would have came back with a Black Gel, Simm, and Brangus being my first choice for pounds on calfs. You are dealing with DNA from the begining of time and you don't know which crayon is coming out in that cross. Drive by someones place and look at a herd of registered Brangus, pay close attention you can see Angus in one cow and brimmer in another and they are all 3/8 5/8. That being said I am not marketing the best calf for weight at weaning with my cross of Angus over Hereford as I am losing 10% over the 3 way cross. I am marketing replacement heifers to go to terminal operations that bring a premium only under the Tiger. The only reason a Brammer bull isn't standing in my pasture is you get hammered on the steer calves. The heifers bring top dollar in my area but you can loose that premium with a bunch of steer calves in a season. [/QUOTE]
