[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 559608, member: 173"] I have to agree about the potential for a "train wreck". We've had Brahman cattle for 20 years, and the only time I've pulled calves was the year I ran my herd bull (Brahman) on Limo cross heifers. I pulled 10 out of 11 calves. You have to be careful with EPD's on Brahmans, because of course they are based on using a Brahman bull on a Brahman cow, which makes a BIG difference. Most AI Brahman bulls are not especially calving ease on Continental cows, because they tend to be big boned. Having said that.. instead of AI'ing, Brahman bulls are cheap compared to any other cattle breed.. you can usually pick up a good gentle one for under $1500. That would probably be money well spent... and perhaps you can find one that has progency that you can see as well. [/QUOTE]
