[QUOTE="Massey135, post: 903634, member: 17234"] No, the brahman was used to breed up the Charolais. The fullblood Charolais had huge bws and the infusion of the brahman genetics decreased those bws drastically. 15/16ths was considered purebred for cows 31/32 for bulls. The study above is skewed anyway. I don't think it was the brahman bulls increasing the bw as much as it was the brahman or brahman influenced females reducing the birthweights. Look up average bws for modern beef breeds..... Notice where brahman ranks. [/QUOTE]
