[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 313004, member: 3162"] Me too. I've been following this thread with interest. This is what happened. We were all "hoodwinked" and they are still at it. They are still pushing the other breeds and they just don't fare as well in this hot climate. You bring those breeds in from nothern climates and they get smaller and smaller with each generation, no matter what you do. In the hot summers they lose and hang out in stock tanks. We let go of the Herefords for the other breed. It was a mistake for this climate. People are looking back with 20/20 hindsight now and realizing they were lied to and the folks pushing that breed are still at it. If they would come out and honestly say, this breed is not suited for hot Texas summers, I coud have respect for them. They are not honest and won't be any time soon I fear. So who do you trust? The other breeds that fare well here are another factor. The F-1 brindles that come from crossing Herefords and Brahman are highly sought for this climate. And yes Brangus does well too. It would be really nice to have more brindles (Tiger Stripes they call them now) from the old lines. Sorry for jumping into this thread with opinion. I have really enjoyed the dialog - most of it.
