[QUOTE="novatech, post: 554104, member: 5494"] I do not see anything wrong with the cross. Of course this is dependent on the purpose of the cross. What is you plan? Are the resulting calves for replacements or terminal? If they are for terminal I would drop the ear and go to a purebred. (F1 Braford on Angus cows or Hereford bull on Brangus cows) If they are for replacement I think the individuals trait selection is of higher value. The Brahman cross on Brahman cross is often done and the heterosis factor is not important for inclusion on replacement heifers. By the way an [b]F1[/b] Braford is 50% Brahman, 50% Hereford. A Braford is 3/8, 5/8. This is all asuming that you want to keep the Brahman influence for momma cows. [/QUOTE]
