[QUOTE="xbredcattle, post: 1518099, member: 24245"] I'm looking for some input here from guys/gals with long standing operations consisting of half blooded brahman cattle in the South I had a pretty long winded conversation with a cousin of mine about the initial input cost of F1 cows vs your average commercial cow purchased from the sale barn We're both young (late 20's) and have small scale operations of around 35 cows. He's of the belief that buying an f1 for a premium is ridiculous because "all she'll ever give you is a calf - same as any cheaper cow from the sale barn" I'm of the opinion that f1 cattle hold their value....not cheap when you buy and not cheap when you sell... We're hitting 100 degrees in Louisiana right now and an F1 will still be up hustling and raising a good calf Anyone here had the same conversation with fellow cattleman/cattlewomen? :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
