[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 1474464, member: 31518"] If you are set on a Brahman bull, I think you would be best off if you buy Hereford cows. As you said, Brafords sell well in Texas. Do you already have a Brahman bull or have one available through family or friends? [url=https://futurebeef.com.au/knowledge-centre/crossbreeding-systems-for-beef-cattle/]https://futurebeef.com.au/knowledge-cen ... ef-cattle/[/url] This article shows the advantages of cross-breeding different breeds of cattle. Generally we are working with British breeds, continental European breeds, and the Indian breeds. If you cross say a Brahman with a Hereford you get an 8.5% increase in growth with the calves. If you keep those cross-bred heifers and breed them to a continental bull, such as a Charolais, Limousin, or Simmental,you will get calves that will grow 23.3 percent over straight breeding. You can have your Hereford cows and Brahman bull and then breed the Braford heifers from that cross to a black Simmental bull. Black calves are also popular. You can also bring in a Hereford bull to put on your Hereford cows to breed your own replacement heifers. [/QUOTE]
