Brahman Bull

[BRAFORDMAN]

My new "red brahman" herd bull. He is a paternal half brother to my dark grey bull, LMC Polled Legacy.
His dam is a red brahman cow. The speckles came from gyr breeding in his dam's pedigree.
I love speckled brahman He should throw solid red calves on the right cow. If he throws speckled calves its ok with me.

JMH Polled Alejandro

A bull I bred myself out of Legacy. Sorry this is the best picture I have. It's hard taking pictures of gentle cattle :lol: He had been weaned about a month.

I think he will be better than his dad. His sheath is one of the cleanest I have seen on a brahman bull.

The calf is pretty fancy

Alejandro is stout, who is the mother? I really enjoyed the videos the other JW made at your place.

His mother(smooth polled) is out of a Nelore bull and a JDH Sir Liberty Manso daughter.

You have really improved the quality of your stock over the years. I really enjoy seeing your cattle.

I agree they aren't as big as they could be, but they are bigger in person. I collected semen from him after I bought him. He is very fertile.

I would agree on the small scrotal. If this bull is to be used for commercial uses so be it, but to improve your herd, no way. One problem that Brahman have is later maturing heifers. You are going to have heifers that are even worse than the standard of Brahman cattle. He's a good looking bull, but those squirell nuts are a no go for me!

No, but I am a fan. Do know the lady who makes Shakira's clothes, she is a brahman breeder in Brazil.

I don't know about squirrel nuts. They are atleast 38cm. And as for late maturing, he was breeding a good amount of cows before he was 2 years old.

Not personally I talked to him on the phone once. I heard he sold out.

I will assume that this pic is a couple of years old, cause that dont look like a 38cm set of cods. Brahman's grow into their mature nut size later than English cattle. Small nuts equals late maturing daughters. If he is 38 cm at 4 years of age that would be ok.

World country news has a great interview with Reeves from Oct 2009

He is 4 years old. His testicles were measured before the sale. They are 38 cm.
Its just the picture. I don't buy bulls with small testicles.
