[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 29063, member: 43"] I agree with Loyd's observation: it's all about QUALITY --- and LOCATION. The national ABBA F-1 sale in Sealy, Tx. doesn't have any "junk" cattle selling. Also, IMHO, I think Mark Switzer gets more for cattle than most other auctioneers. I've often thought that if I was a seller I'd like to have him be the auctioneer, but I'd rather buy when somebody else does the calling! Shiner Bock --- if you want to raise tigerstripes for replacements, your best (most economical ) bet may be to get some high quality Hereford cows and then breed them to top Brahman bulls. The really good Brahman females go to purebred operations and are probably a little (or a lot) too pricey to be used for just "manufacturing" tigerstripes. That was the cousel I was offered some time ago by a member of the family that is active in one of the top Brahman ranches here in Texas (the J. D. Hudgins ranch in Hunderford, Tx.). I don't know about S. Carolina but I think that, at least in south Texas, you can usually buy quality Hereford cows for a good bit cheaper than you can buy quality Brahman cows. [/QUOTE]
