[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1790151, member: 40587"] Yes. Hereford x Brahma has the highest heterosis of any 2 breeds you can cross. Braford has a lot too, just not quite what the f1 cross does. The breed with the least common genetics, Angus...(none shared between angus and Brahma and almost zero between angus and Hereford) is the best choice to breed those Br x Herf too. You can get some goodhereford cows for almost half what a Brahma would cost, and buy a good Brahma bull, and you will make more than you can on pure hereford or pure brahma, I bought 80 Brhmas for a client that were all heavy bred to a hereford. They calved January and 1st of February. 58 heifers and 22 bulls. A man came Saturday and bought every heifer to be picked up in July. Paid him half Saturday and the rest due when he picks them up.
