I think they are CUTE too! Look like big ole puppy dogs! Nice pictures!

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.

sounds like he was trying too make a animal exist in a enviroment it was never meant too. like trying too make a highland survive on the gulf coast ill bet even those cross bred cattle have a rough time was this man on a tv program at one time with his brahman?

hey ruby how much LA200 do ya think it'd take to get them ears to not be so droopy?

 

[randiliana]

That pretty much sums it up alacowman. They just aren't designed for the cold winters. And as far as I know he was never on TV. This happened quite a few years a go I guess.

Why would I want their ears to not droop?

Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

Beautiful calves Ruby. I love those eared breeds. I'm partial to Simbrah, myself.
