Just wanted to know if anyone had tried that cross. Didn't say it was good or bad. Went to look at a heifer that was supposed to be that cross. Didn't buy her. Just wanted to get yalls opinion. Thanks for the opinions.
Farmboy,
Doc Harris doesn't post anymore so I will give you the basic pointers about balanced cattle.
We are all juggling three things:
Inputs
Outputs/Yield
Carcass Quality
The best way to do this is by having a maternal cow and a terminal bull.
Unless you are breeding for replacement females, then you want a maternal bull.
A Brahman/Charolais/Limousin is a terminal heifer. Her inputs will exceed her outputs as a cow. You want a cow to be low input.
You could easily do a search for Doc Harris to learn more.
