[QUOTE="ALACOWMAN, post: 359066, member: 2047"] thanks badland i appreciate that. the thing with the brahman F1. they are pretty much a one shot deal. although they can produce a better doing calf for the feedlot.. which i doubt due to much brahman influance especialy out west.. they are more suited for a three way cross to get the most bang for your buck . you take a man that raises F1s for the public he can make a ton on his replacemants but the steers take a beating. his heifers take up there slack and then some .but if you send a calf to the barn with the same amount of ear then you will get docked hard even if it would do better on the lot . so you want the ear on the moma but the calf with no more than a 1/4. the f2 steer will look pretty much like the moma and thats were youll take a beating. hope that answered some of it.
