[QUOTE="BRAFORDMAN, post: 811395, member: 14817"] I am a beginner myself. I am 16 and have been around cattle all my life. But am new to the brahman and nelore. In brazil your best bet would be Nelore. The key is make sure the cattle are gentle. BRahman and Nelore cattle responded quickly to the way they are being treated. Start off with gentle cattle. Depending on how soon you want to start making money on from your cattle, I would start with young GENTLE heifers, that way they can get used to you and trust you. My nelore heifers are young and gentle. Handle the cattle slowly and patiently if you move too fast they will get agitated. IF you start off with young heifers and get them used to you, you still need to be careful at calving. When the cows calve give them a week before you mess with the calves. I Breed my Brahman and NElore cattle between 18 - 24 months. They are the only breed I breed that late in age, because they will reach their growth potential better if you do not breed them younger than 18 months. The younger you breed brahman or Nelore, the more input you will have to put into them to get them to their potential size. With the climate in Braziil I do not know any other breeds, besides other BOs Indicus cattle to use. [/QUOTE]
