[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1548927, member: 6291"] The goal would be to make an F1 Braford or F1 Brangus cow and breed them back to a different breed like a Charolais bull. As for does it pay... that is tough to say because every ones operation is different. We put the Brahman herd together piece by piece so we could make our own F1s. The two main benefits I see are we are controlling our supply chain and we have cattle that are of a higher value in this area. Even in times of drought and low prices the Brahmans and F1s still sell higher. If we stock a lease place with F1 heifers and lose that lease 5 years later those F1s have more resale value than trying to bail 6 and 7 yr old "black cattle". All along the supply chain there are females in high demand that will bring a premium no matter if its pure Brahmans, F1s, Black Super-Baldies, or even 3/4 blood Braford and Brangus cattle. We believe there is cream to be skimmed off the top in selling females. The feeder market has a lot of room for down but not much up. With this game plan you are kind of diversified between feeders and replacements. It does require more capital than just a commercial herd to get in to but probably not as much as getting in to registered cattle. Its going good so far but Ill know better in 30 years how it panned out. :) [/QUOTE]
