[QUOTE="jack1234, post: 786544, member: 13304"] jscunn's advice is on the mark. But everything is about the averages. Really, there's probably more variation within each breed than between them. I'd say just go with what's cheaper/easier/aesthetic pleasing to your sensibilities. And to set the record straight on brahman influenced cattle in the south-- replacement F1 heifers (and brangus) receive a premium, but the brahman influenced calves on their way to feedlots will still be docked. However, in the hot/humid climate it's still economical b/c you get more lbs of calf weaned/exposed female than you would with pure European. Better cow fertility, cow longevity, calf survival, calf weaning weight, less healthcare costs, etc. [/QUOTE]
