[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1656282, member: 6291"] There are a lot of factors. For one these animals are designed to thrive where other wont. If you have improved pasture with great soil and what not you may not need to the Brahman influence. In our area our straight steers bring 1.2-1.25 on avg. The F1s Brangus can get up real close with in a nickle or dime the F1 Brafords will be around a dime or so off. The females can get up there depending on the marketing. At weening I wont even consider parting with an F1 for less than $1500 and a straight for less than $2000. F1s can be easier to get in to. Straights are an expensive game. One of my big deals on the F1 females is their salvage price. I can can haul an old bred F1 in that is 15+ years old to auction and get $1300-1500 dollars. Their Brangus, Braford, or "black" counter part will bring $750-900. So if you combine the whole deal of lower inputs, higher weaning weights, longer production, higher salvage, less calf loss to predators or stupidity, it can be a good deal. We are in a drought right now and those Brimmers and Xs are really earning their keep. I was deer hunting and watched a group come down my ROW working over the yaupon and oak. They will be the furthest from water also grazing. [/QUOTE]
