Never seen Brown Swiss/Brimmer cross that I know.
I bet that is one calf growing machine.

Kent":ou2qknnd said:This is from an article I found:
"Chris Shivers, director of association services with the American Brahman Breeders Association (ABBA), detailed the association's F1 female certification program.
"Eighty-five percent of the cattle that move through our program are Brahman-Hereford cross," said Shivers.
The association offers a Certified and Golden Certified F1 program. In the Certified program, the dam is a qualified purebred cow and the sire is registered. In the Golden Certified program, both the dam and sire are registered."

A friend just got some tiger stripes Golden Certified... they are out of a reg. Brahman bull, and what look like Hereford cows.. actually Hereford / Shorthorn crosses.
