[QUOTE="novatech, post: 456738, member: 5494"] I would pick the cattle according to the climate and/or pasture. Brahmans will not do as well in colder climates as Herfords. In south Texas or any other hot humid area I would go with the Brahman cow. In your area I would go with the Herford cows. It is much easier to keep their BCS where it should be if selecting this way. I am not saying that either one cannot take the weather conditions but they will just do better in their proper enviornment. Which ever you select get momas that can mantain their BCS through the time it takes to raise the calf. I have seen these big calves suck some cows down to skin and bones by the time the calves are weaned. It is hard to maintain a calf per year program with this type of cattle. [/QUOTE]
