I probably live in the wrong part of the country for the Brahman and Indu or Gir/Gyr type cattle but they remain my very favorite. I'd love to breed for pure but since mine are probably not pure, at least not registered, then I just enjoy the cows and breed them to whatever the boys have for me to borrow when they're not using them on their herd. Babe is my grey American Brahman type cow and Rose is my, well, Indu-Brazilian or Gir type, not sure.
Last year, Rose didn't take. I think she was too tall for the bull that was here. I know he tried but she is one tall hussy. I bought her as an adult having had only one calf before. This year, she and Babe both took and calved on the same day, just hours apart. The sire is a registered Angus.
Rather than post a bunch of photo's again, I posted them in the wrong place so I'll just link to that page, the introductions page.
