In our country we'd have to tie them animals down- with our wind and those EARS they would blow away ;-) :lol: :lol:

No wonder you southerners don't mind mandatory ID- you have enough room to put 20 ear tags in each cow ;-) .....

looks like purty babys and a loose sheathed brahman. I havent seen a brahman yet with a tight sheath.

I wonder why.... must be a breed defect..... ;-)

Breed characteristic. I think all of the people in the north are just jealoous of those ears.

nice pics Ruby.

Brahman influence in improving cattle in the south should not be underestimated.

If you see a Brahman with a tight sheath he will be a knotty little thing. Loose skin is one of the ways they cool themselves in the extremely hot humid part of the world they come from.

ive found the opposite to be true in the brahman cross cattle with the extreme sheath or navel. most will be all frame no muscle

Awwwww, those babies are just waaaaaaaay to cute :lol: :lol:

Nothing as pretty as those Brahman calves exist, I do believe.

 

[Angus Cattle Shower]

I like'em, but I don't think that they would survive and thrive up here...

We had this discussion at coffee the other day . There was a guy around here that bought some bramahs, they did really well during the summer, and he got some crossbred calves out of them. But when winter hit, they were keeping them in the barn (unheated), and they were losing them. In the end, I believe that they even put them in a heated shop, but were still losing them. I think they lost all the purebreds, but the crossbred calves survived, and he kept some in the herd where they did very well.

You'd have to be able to ship them to the southern states for the winter if a Saskie like us would get one or ten. lol. I liki ethe looks and they seem to be good mothers... just wishthey could withstand this climate here...

 

[randiliana]

You just need to find some crossbreds, preferably with highland blood in them ;-) . Jeez, that sounds like quite the cross :shock: :lol: :lol:

Very cute calves, Ruby!
