Brahman X Galloway

Help Support CattleToday:

Pure Brahman and any of their crosses are becoming more predominate in our high country where I live. I realise that it is not as bitter in winter as those similar altitudes or latitudes of North America. Our area ranges from 3,000 to 4,500 above sea level. A number of breeders use the Brahman and their derived breeds ( Brangus, Santa, Charbray, F1 Brahman Hereford) as an efficient tool with which to cross either Hereford or Angus or any other breed over. Nothing beats an F1.

Not the best picture, but this cow was out of a Red Brahman cow I had years back that I bought at a sale that was bred to a Belted Galloway bull. I have no idea why they crossed the two breeds, but she's been a good cow. She's got a little more of a belt on her other side. She's not the purtiest thing to look at, but she's efficient and raises a good calf every year. Typically get a solid black calf out of her when bred to an Angus bull. Not sure if you'd call her a Belted Brahmoway or what. :lol2:

Nice cow.....and very goofy looking one lol
 
I came back onto this site because I though that there might be something to learn about various breeds not to have particular crosses knocked ( this cross of this thread is very useful) There are a lot of cattlebreeders out there looking for better alternatives than Angus. The Galloway is most probably one of them like I have found with South Devon.

Nothing's wrong with experimenting with different breeds in crossbreeding. I like Belted Galloway x Black Angus crosses, the cows stay smaller but can weaning heavy calves off and I don't think I ever seen them panting out in the hot weather when we penned them up to loading back to home.
 
Might try putting them in some hot weather. Minie sota ain't the Gulf Coast. Colin you no better than to pay any attention to the Village idiot.

They take cares of their cattle very well. As my friend has Brahman and Brahman X Holstein cattle here, never had any problem with them in the winter. The Brahman x highland crosses I seen were very hairy and ugliest....not mentioned that they were high headed.
 
:lol: i see you took my comment a little to serious,, just dont see a need for brahman influence in a area where their not a necessity , and still get discounted. like shooting yourself in the foot
