[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1688135, member: 40587"] Have another client that bred about 40 of his Brahmas to a Black Herford bull, and 12 Black Hereford cows to Brahma bulls. They calved the first of February, and he sold all the heifers the week the first ones were born. When he AI'ed the Black Herefords back, he used sexed Brahma semen to get all heifers. He didn't on the Brahma cows, because I dont think he could get sexed Black Hereford semen. He is toying with the idea of going ahead and developing a Black Braford breed. He told me he was going to leave some of the next bull calves uncut, in case he does decide to do it., The F1s can be registered as Golden Certified F1s with the ABBA, but I don't think he could register the Black Brafords with the Braford Association. Last time I talked to him, he was going to start talking with some in the Black Hereford Association to see of they would start a registry. From what I have seen, though, an F1 Braford cow will bring as much or more, commercially, as a registered Braford cow will. Br bull x Hereford cow will yield bigger calves, especially bull/steer calves, but with him being in south Ga, he'd be better off with Brahma cows and a Black Hereford bull. I think Hereford cows will be more of a hassle than he ( 74 years old) would want to fool with, but the Black Hereford cows eliminate the common udder and eye problems found in red Herefords. but they seem to retain the red Herfords docility and mothering instincts.
