[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1797679, member: 40587"] Much cheaper than and as effective as a Pyrynees, about the same price as a donkey but much more effective. As people have mentioned,. Brahma and Br crosses will work, but will cost more than a Corr, LH., etc. And will cost the same as your other cows as far as feed and other inputs. But, using a Brahma or Brahma cross, will probably yield a bigger calf. If you raise Herefords, it wouldn't disrupt your over all plan that much to add a Braford or 2. Or if you raise Angus or Simmental or Charolais, it wouldn't hurt a thing to have a Brahma or 2 in the herd. f1 Brangus or Simbrah or Charbray , especially heifers, are very marketable. But Brahma or their crosses, might not work so well for our northern and Canadian friends. And up there, if they are in an area with wolves, even a Spanish fighting bull wouldn't do you much good. Speaking from personal experience, if you use stock dogs you might not want Corrientes. 2 or 3 good stock might work ok for catching a Corr that got out or something, but do NOT send them after a herd of 100 with calves and a Corr bull in with them! Probably out of the last 12 times someone has called me to come look at a calf that they think dogs or coyotes killed, 11 of them were definitely already dead or near death ,and was more a case of scavenging an easy meal rather than a predation. The 12th one, there wasn't enough sign to say for sure. [/QUOTE]
