[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1744318, member: 6291"] Im pretty sure that is old info. When I went to AI class they were already taking about all that. They could test your heifers at like weaning age I think and see which will be the most productive based on one of those numbers. They have special sync protocols for pure Brahmans when doing AI. That's one of those one sided articles. They claim you get one less calf but that assumes you are selling cows at exactly the same age. If you breed them later but get a longer life expectancy and a high salvage price did you really lose out? Common sense and basic math says... No. In fact, I know people breeding pure blood Angus and Hereford who refuse to breed that early because they claim those cattle are not as productive for them long term. They also show what we will assume are F1s in their pic. That's a whole different world talking F1s Brafords and Brangus vs pure blood Brahmans. They should really look at the stats on that because in the AI class they also talked about breed comparisons in general for reproduction and they were some of the highest. There are also some studies about to come out talking about meat grading with F1s bred back to Angus bulls. These old wives tails about meat quality is just not true either. Brahmans are going to naturally do what it takes to survive. Their reproduction, attitude, etc will all adjust to survive in their environment. [/QUOTE]
