[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 24649, member: 19"] Joe I'm not well versed on the Beefmaster breed, but I can tell you that the cross you described (hereford/angus/brahma) is a high quality animal. AKA "Super Baldies". I use angus bulls on Braford cows and I am well pleased. We could simailarly utilize some continental blood in the mix to put more pounds on the ground but I like the carcass niche. Florida is tough on an angus bull but you can add bull power a lot cheaper than half your cows coming up open because of heat stress. Braford cows are out grazing in 95F with 90% humidity. Bulls are in the shade but come to life at night. The resulting calves thrive well with the 3/16 Brahama retention. Heifers should bring a pretty penny or make excellent replacements for you should you go that direction. I fyou are interested in Braford cattle, might I recommend Adam's Ranch, home of the foundation herd. They have plenty of heifers for sale right now, open, exposed and safe in calf. They are in Ft. Pierce, Kenansville, and Okeechobee. I'll pass the contact name and phone number to you if you like or just check out The Florida Cattlemen magazine, Adam's website etc. Furthermore they have developed an interesting composite which I think holds great merit for the future of quality beef.
