WHAT IS THE DIFERENCE BEETWIN BRAFORD AND F1 RED STRIPES.
TANKS DR. CATTLE. WATH IF I KEEP FOR REPLEASEMENTS THE ONES FROM TIGERSTRIPES AND BLACK BRANGUS BULL, ANY COMENT WILL HELPD.R.

Not my preference, but many having success with it. I've got one tigerstripe in my Braford herd and she's a keeper. I bought her as a bred first heifer. No surprise she spit out a huge Charolais calf with no problems, weaned it heavy, and bred right back to my Maine Angus to calf any day now. No wonder they're popular.

DOYOU THINK WILL BE BETTER WITH RED ANGUSD.R. Cattle":dqu751es said:I wouldn't think they would be performers as feeders, but they should definitely be tough and well acclimated to HOT weather, easy calvers, with high conception rates.

For certain it gets hot, but since it is so far inland possibly the humidity and insects/parasites are not as bad as down along the coast. If straight Herefords can do well there (and I'm not suggesting that they can or cannot -- I just don't know) then probably Red Angus might do O.K. there also. For example straight Herefords seem to do fine in some very hot parts of west Texas, the Texas hill country, the desert, etc. And it obviously gets plenty hot at times in Okla, Kansas, the Dakotas, etc. and its my understanding that they do O.K. in those places. Where the Brahman influence comes in handy is where you have the combination of heat, humidity, insects and lack of significant nightime cooling. All the above simply IMHO. Regards, Arnold Ziffle
