Brahma cross

[Peace]

@Travlr
I guess I did say what I gave for the li snot!
I didnt want anyone to think I was exaggerating on what I gave for em. I can't remember if I said what I gave for the lil bwf unweaned heifer when I got her or not.
They've both just been on grass all summer. I DID have a little money in weaning them a couple weeks. Feed etc.

Crossbred weighed 260lbs when I got her.
Weighed 620lbs today
$312 turned into $1021.01
$709.01 "return"

Bwf heifer weighed 350lb when I got her
Weighed 490lb today
$770 turned into $1245.91
$475.91 "return"

Top one and bottom one.
I deducted commissions in the above numbers.

I updated the thread on the "got a pretty"

I watched that sale for a little while today...400 to 500lb bull calves for over $300/100#... thought you would crush it

We bought this Brahman x pair, very docile and raises a really good calf.

The cow appears to be a LH or Corr cross as well. Maybe 1/4 or less Brahma. What kind of bull sired the calf? She has more Brahma characteristics than her momma does. Man, wouldn't you love to have a pasture full just like her? Breed them to an Angus to get rid of the horns and have black calves. What is the cow bred to now?

 

[MurraysMutts]

O yeah.
They called mine beefmaster when she came in the ring. She did looke really good. Was prime for sale day! But I wouldn't say she was beefmaster.

Auctioneer/barn owner bought my white one!

I don't know what she was bred to, had to be Brahman x.
Yes I wish I had a bunch like her.

Private sale? At a sale barn they would normally split a pair with a big calf like that.

It was small when we bought her.
Pictures don't do that heifer justice, everyone that sees her wants to buy her.

We have been feeding these cattle hay for a while now, the drought didn't do them any good.
We got 2" of rain this week, but it will take a lot more than that to bring the grass out of it stunt.

My money is on Beefmaster type cow and calf. I've been around those my whole life.

The light colored one?

They both cam in same time. I had to tell El to split em as one was weaned forever and the white one was right off mama. And there was 120lb difference. Glad I was there!
Pretty sure he was referring to the dark one. But I've slept a few days since then.

Now that u mention it, same guy did buy the white one!

 

[farmerjan]

Hope the guy has REAL GOOD fences for the white one.....

 

[MurraysMutts]

She was jumper. Had I not been at the right place at the right time while sorting/loading she would've got out!!
He owns the place so I'm sure she will stay there for a while to wean. I hope he makes a cow outta her!

Funny...
They bought em both in the ring and we did our deal. They went to sort em seperate and the fun began.
I told em. Hey! U can pet the brown one. Don't try n pet the white one.....

 

[Hpacres440p]

This is the kind of docility I always see in the "good" Brahma-heifer stood in the middle of a bunch of folks, got doodled on, during a seminar today. They put her up after about 40 minutes because she started turning her head to the guy on the halter-that was her signal she was done. I suppose that's how responsive you have to be to keep them working for you.

 

[tex452]

I like this calf, wish it was a heifer.

 

[MurraysMutts]

WAIT FOR IT!!!!

 

[MurraysMutts]
