[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1223520, member: 20755"] I bottle fed some Brahman Holstein and Brahman Brown Swiss heifers. I also bought some Brahman Brown Swiss that were allegedly on a nurse cow. I don't know if they were out of the same bull or not. They all came from the same dairy, but the heifers that were on the nurse cow look at you like you are the Grim Reaper every time you go anywhere near them. A while ago I bought 2 purebred registered Brahman heifers. I went on looks alone and thought that I would be able to tame them by being kind and generous with feed. That was not the case. The one thing you need to know is that Brahman cows will jump fences unlike any other breed of cow. I live in Florida and I travel on I 75 and other highways with cows (Angus, Hereford, etc.) grazing in fields with low fences. If I put my Brahman heifers in those fields they would be out in the middle of the interstate eating grass in the median. This is not unique to this group of Brahman heifers. I used them for recips in the past. I would take them to the University of Florida and pick them up later. They jumped all the fences at UF, but when they saw the trailer pull up they would jump all the fences to get back where they needed to be. Brahman cattle are NOT stupid by any means. They notice any slight change you make in your cow pen or anything out of the ordinary. I feed in the evening but most of the time we implant embryos or work cows in the morning. Some of the Brahman heifers will not go in the pen if you try to get them in there in the morning. But, Brahman cows usually have really strong maternal traits and they will follow you like a dog if you care for them properly. I have also had people tell me that they produce longer than other breeds. [/QUOTE]
