[QUOTE="novatech, post: 717351, member: 5494"] I'm with Knersie. When I was a kid the same story was going around about polled Herefords. As far as the crosses are concerned, I can only comment on using Brahman over Herefords. When looking at birth weights, on EPD's, of Brahman bulls I don,t think they will give you a true number when using them as a cross. The reason is that the Brahman cow limits the size of the calf. The numbers are taken from Brahman X Brahman. You would only get true numbers when taken on crosses, using Brahman bulls, which does not happen. This is one of the reasons that the Brahman cow is considered the back bone of F1 crosses in the south. [/QUOTE]
