[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1656198, member: 5381"] The part of the video that states how you take care of them determines how easy they are to take care of is spot on. I bought two skinny young red brahman pairs at the sale barn two years ago for $1450 each. That was the price the auctioneer started them at and I was the only one who bid. I thought it was a fair price. They had big black beefy type bull calves with some ear that I figured I could sell and get half my money back. They went through the ring a little skittish but not two bad. I unloaded them into the pens and knew right away I had made a mistake as the cows were a little scary like man eaters and their 400 lbs calves were complete nuts bouncing off the pen fencing. I finally got them worked and turned them into the herd but had a bad feeling they were going to go over the fence. The cows remained elusive but stayed home and the calves sold off as expected three months later for over $800 each. It was a complete turn around after the calves were weaned. The cows settled down and are now the type you thrive for. You don't pet them but they will not move away from you unless you get inside their social distance circle of about 6 feet. They have gone from 900lbs when I bought them to 1350 or so now. They hold their weight very well through the summer and winter on my crappy forage and raise a better than average black calf when bred to Angus. I could very easily be talked into buying some more of them but they don't come around very often at the price I paid for these. Here is one of them just after calving. [/QUOTE]
