Brahman x Jersey F1 heifers

[Caustic Burno]

No I didn't read limiting pedigrees to Brahman and Charoais only
Crow ain't to bad beaks and feet can be a little tough if not prepared properly.


From the Char association
In the late 1940s and early 1950s the breeders established the American Charbray Breeders Association and the American Charolais Breeders Association, both of which limited pedigrees to a blend of Charolais and Brahman breeding. Producers who were utilizing other beef breed cows to produce Charolais by compounding Charolais blood through successive generations, formed the International Charolais Association. In 1957, the American and International Associations merged into today's American-International Charolais Association (AICA). In 1964, the Pan-American Charolais Association, whose registrations were based on performance rather than genetic content, merged into the AICA. And three years later, the American Charbray Breeders Association merged with the AICA, bringing all Charolais-based breeds in the United States under the fold of a single breed registry.

CB loves that article, he takes pride in proving someone wrong. But hey, I'm the same way, so more power to him.

Here is a good example of a calf off of that cross. I'm impressed.

Some on here don't understand your buying a cow that will produce into her twenties

Not trying to be smart, but do you think she'll profit that much in her lifetime after inputs are paid?[/quote]

Depends.
Negative interest rates would help.
Cull'in rate and price cycle and cost of money are important to profit.

She will produce a 20% heavier calf at weaning . She will out profit the straight bred in pounds and years of service. Not uncommon to produce into their mid 20's.
