Z&J Cattle
Well-known member
I live in Northeast Arkansas and have ran across a couple groups of cows in North Texas that I am interested in, but a friend of mine who has been in the cattle business all his life tells me not to buy cows from that far South of here because they will not adapt well to our climate. He also likes to give me a hard time every chance he gets, so I don't know how much truth there is to this. He gave an example of a guy in our area who bought a group of straight Brahman cows from South Texas and they have struggled during the winter, but I wonder if that is not as much the fact that they are straight Brahman as it is that they are from quite a way South of us. I am interested in mainly Beefmaster type cows, which will obviously have Brahman influence. Any opinions on this?
