The Brahford is a 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Hereford. You will produce black white face which are highly desirable.

They have been bred here for 40 or so years.Here In Australia higher Brahman content 5/8 is encouraged in the Topics and lesser Brahman content in more temperament areas.Good on you for using a Bos indicus breed you wil be happy with the Brahman infusion.

We have a registered Braford Bull that we used last year and have bred him back this year to our Black Brangus and Black Angus cows and the calves turned out great. Two came out red with white faces and the rest came out black with white faces and they have a great temperment. However,we do have him for sale due to purchasing new bulls.

If you think Braford make good cows you should try Brangus.

Brafords are easy doing produce low birth weight around 25-35kg calves which wean at high weights around 300-400 kg. One of the best braford bull in australia would have to be Chadwick Downs Epic

Many of my experiences with Brangus have been less than desirable. Nice breed, heat tolerant, very maternal, but usually WILD. Anybody else make this observation?

Brangus are 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus and most have very good dispersions. Any animal with Brahman influuence must be lead not driven. If you push them east, they will go every other direction other than east. If managed properly one can just call them and they will come and follow. I have lead them down the road in a pickup after showing them I had a bucket of feed in the back.

>So accurate your response. Unbelievably, I can move dozens of Braford with horses (provided they are seasoned cowpunchers) but the brangus have a tendency to bolt at the sight of the horses. In the pens, they are usually the ones ruining gates and bucking the chutes. Perhaps I just didn't do very well at picking them when I stocked, and other lines are not quite as bad. Nevertheless, as they get culled, I replace with braford.

There are many good Braford cattle in Australia,they have had their problems over the years, I think with not having enough Brahman content was their biggest downfall to start off with. Breeders now opt for at least 5/8th Brahman content. Hereford breeders were only using bulls with a low Brahman content about 3/8th which did give them a boost in the offspring but failed to produce an animal that resembled the sire. Using a Braford over Hereford actually convinced more breeders to progress to the use of Brahman bulls. It happened to my parents and myself we had a Polled Hereford herd that had eye cancer+++ so we had to do something about it. We purchased a very low content bull which helped us immensely but we felt that we weren't getting the desired amount of vigour so then gradually changed over to Brahman. We could have managed if we had lived in a softer climatic environment but in the subtropical area in which I lived at the time extra Brahman content was essential.Now in that area very few totally Hereford herds remain.
