[QUOTE="novatech, post: 1003393, member: 5494"] If you are looking for beef calf production then I would go a European or continental breed. To much ear will hurt you at the sale barn, although you may make up for it in weight. Brahman bulls are typically used to build momma cows that in turn will give you hybrid vigor and economical cows. They produce the beef wanted at the barn. If your crossbred cows are mostly European cross and have very little Brahman in them they may be used to produce some good replacement heifers using your current Brahman bull. Cross those heifers back to Hereford or Angus and take those calves to the sale barn. I like Knersie's suggestion with the rotation from Brahman to Hereford as you can choose your replacements from within your herd develop a cow herd getting close to the F1 Braford and yet produce calves that will still do pretty good at the barn.
