[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1679838, member: 40587"] I never owned any Charbray, except maybe for a day or two when buying for a client, or just buying some to sell. But, as I have mentioned on other threads, back about 20 years ago, I got some 1/2 Brahma 1/2 Chianina cows. A client was developing a 3 way cross of Brahma, Long Horn and Chianina cattle to raise bucking bulls from. Once he got enough of these 3 way crosses, he started selling off his 2 way crosses. I sent the Br x LH and Chi x Longhorn cows to Florida, but I decided to keep the Br x Chi cows. These were from registered, purebred Brahmas and Chininas. Great big ole white cows, as big as a purebred Chianina, with some ear. Not as much as other 1/2 Brahma crosses....nothing cleans up the leather on a Brahma cross better than Chianina. The first two I got, I bred to a Brangus. The calves looked just like giant Brangus...black and polled. No smoky color. The rest of them I bred to a neighbor's polled Charolais every year.. as well as the 1st two for the rest of their calves....mostly because he wanted to buy some heifers out of these cows. These 1/2 Charolais, 1/4 Br, 1/4 Chi, would have smoky calves, however,. when bred to black bulls. So, I hear ya on the diluter gene.[I] [/I]What kind of bull are you using on your Charbray,[I] [USER=694]@Caustic Burno[/USER] ?[/I] [/QUOTE]
