[QUOTE="Gators Rule, post: 1143367, member: 15587"] That's going to be a lot of ear on a steer going through the sale barn. Heifers will probably sell well, but when you factor in the discount on the steers, I'm not sure I would use that particular breeding. I can see the benefit of the Brahman blood on those heifers, but I guess you need to share your overall goals in order to gain 100% solid advice. Incidentally, have you considered a Brangus, Beefmaster, Santa Gert, or Braford bull? You could still gain the hybrid vigor pluses If the bull is a good one...and not get docked too terribly bad on the steers. The Brangus and Gert will give you some color uniformity as well. Regardless of the route you go, do the research on the bull's conformation and EPD's, as train wrecks can occur with heifers using any breed. [/QUOTE]
