[QUOTE="A.J., post: 1528021, member: 13664"] They're not for everybody, but based on what you're looking for, I think you'd be very happy with the heifers you retained. Some of the best cows I've had have been 1/2 - 1/4 Brahman. If you went with Beefmaster cows bred to a bull without ear, you'd be at 1/4 Brahman in the calves. If you kept the heifers, their resulting calves would show very little ear or extra leather. With each cross, you lose some heterosis, but still maintain some of the benefits of the Brahman influence. [/QUOTE]
