[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 930430, member: 694"] This is from a USDA PDF file from the Louisiana Ag Expertment Station. The Southern region of the U.S. contains approximately 42% of the nation’s beef cows and nearly 50% of its cow-calf producers. The region’s environment generally can be characterized as subtropical, i.e. hot, humid summers with ample rainfall supporting good forage production. Efficient cow-calf production in the humid South is dependent on heat and parasite tolerance and good forage utilization ability. Brahman and Brahman-derivative breeds generally possess these characteristics and excel in maternal traits. Consequently, they have been used extensively throughout the Southern Region in crossbreeding systems with Bos taurus breeds in order to exploit both breed complementarity and heterosis effects.
