[QUOTE="Massey135, post: 903420, member: 17234"] I can read what the[i] powerpoint [/i] says :roll: .. these just aren't the result ive personally had nor is it the results of many. Brahman bulls have long been used as heifer bulls- not because they have huge calves. Dairies used brahman bulls on heifers for years. So did all the fullblood continental breeders in the day. I just got off the phone with my grandpa who i've mentioned ran a cpl hundred hd of herefords in Yantis, TX where lake fork is now. After the poor growth and hard calving genetics of the herefords in the mid 60's and prior to the importation of the fullblood chars, he used Brahman bulls over all his cows. I told him what this convo was about and he just said " well all I know is they (the f1 calves) sure weren't as big as the herford sired calves and I dang sure didn't have the calving problems I had had." ( LIttle did he know those fullblood chars he was waiting on in quarantine would trainwreck his cattle operation.) Lets hear some first hand results: who has put brahma bulls over english cows and had more calving difficulties than they did prior? [/QUOTE]
