Brahman or crosses in Alberta or Saskatchewan ?!

[Silver]

If you are looking for something different go with Highland. Great conversations pieces. I worked on a ranch and they bought some Brangus bulls. several of them froze their breeding apparatus and had to be canned. I would imagine a more straight Bramahn would be touchier. Females did good though.

Personally I'll just stick with one or two Brahman cows and keep their bull calves for freezer beef. A local guy bred his Angus cows to his pet brahman bull, hold on the F1 Brangus calves till they're yearlings and sell them in late spring without any dock.

Don't worry about True Grits and his baboons. We have few brahman breeders in Minnesota and they do fine in winters as long as you use more bedding for them and have shelter available for them. Just don't calving them out while the ground is still white. The Brahmans are kinda of being a high maintenance animal in our climate.

You gave really good sound reasons to NOT OWN Brahman cattle up North.

I love Brimmer cattle and there crosses they don't belong up there.

Not everyone calving out during winters, duh. Maybe they just want a brahman for just fun and giggles. Plus half Brahmans do fine in winters.

That's the way to roll...raise cattle that don't work in your enviroment.. And throw tons of money at them to keep em alive,, then get your butt handed to you when you sell...

Fascinating that people okay with black angus in the south, think Brahman up north are dumb.

Why keep them if they're a higher cost animal to maintain?

Wonder how a polar bear would do after being thrown somewhere along the gulf coast...and forced to survive after years of developing into what they are???

Who said Angus are okay in the Deep South. They sure don't fair as well as standardized composite.

You Brahman guys just as well drop this, there is people committing on Brahmans that wouldn't know a Brahman from a Shetland pony.

 

[farmerjan]

Have to agree that it would seem to be pretty unfair to the animal when they were developed for hot, drier type climates; to put them in a climate that is very inhospitable. Sure, crosses should get some of the traits to make surviving better. If you want something different I agree that Highlands and Galloways are perfect for the cold. With their double haircoat they are made to order for the cold climate. And come on, the belted galloways are really nice to look at. And very good eating. And don't forget, the Highlands are the beef of choice by the royal family in England so they must taste pretty good too.

And no, this post is not being sarcastic.

 

[mpassmore85]

Attached are the type of Brahmans I am looking at. Keep in mind they will be pets. Heated barn and all that when they desire

Which I highly doubt any would need they look very acclimatized. These are pets for my wife not "money makers". Anything will pay for itself if it has a calf not a difficult concept

Unless you take nothing for your cattle like the southern states seems to.

 

[ALACOWMAN]

Looks like they would make great pets... Atleast that type would be Good for something..no wonder your attracted to longhorn..seems like anything that has beef on its carcass,,better not set foot on you property...
