[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1451310, member: 6291"] From what I have see some of the larger Brahman breeders are moving toward pushing for feedlot tests and grade tests on the Brahman bulls. Now if you are a purebred breeder they are sending all the bulls off to be fed a graded. They are marketing them to buyers with that info. I sat thru hours and hours of calves last week. The quality Brahman bull calves were with in .15 of the Char calves, which are to the top sellers, and with in .10 of the solid blacks (#2 sellers). The heifers were over $2. Saw several go for 2.2 or 2.3. Thats a solid dollar or more over their heifer counter parts. End result, you are still taking more dollars home but marketing and breeding over the next 10 years could really close that gap on the bull calves. Im not talking about these stringy things people on here want to push as being Brahman cattle... Im talking the modern, American, Brahman cattle. [/QUOTE]
