what is the development of the brahman breed in Australia? what are the types of production systems to which brahmans are suited? what are reason for suitability of this breed to these production systems?
In that location of the world you have a hot arid climate, as well as lush Highlands. In the lowland desert climates the Brahman Cow or th F-1 product are used because they are much better suited to the heat, dry climate and parasites. Whith this type of Production sceme, they can run a British Breed on them as a service sire and get a highly valuable calf to market. Also that area utilizes finishing cattle on grass a great deal more than finishing on grain, like we do hear in the States, and the Brahman cross type cattle perform well on the tough range conditions and are quite hardy.
