[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1518135, member: 6291"] Although I do believe F1 cattle have a slightly higher value be leary of the "premium" price tags. A lot of the F1 cattle I see marketed do not justify their advertised cost. From a practical stand point the 3/8, 5/8, 7/8 crosses can be just as good IMO and don't carry the price tag. People in the south have been running Brahman influenced cross bred cattle for a long time. A good Brahman bull can put you in that business for a fraction of the cost. At the end of the day... buy quality cattle at the right price and you will be ok. They are having record high temps in north Texas. I bet there are a lot of tanks full of cattle. I just got done dropping some corn off at the ranch and the Brahmans were out grazing and milking calves. The Hereford bull on them was watching from a shad tree near by. :) [/QUOTE]
