What breeds of cattle make up a Droughtmaster?

 

[alacattleman]

i think their breeding s like beefmasters but maybe more brahman percentage... wouldnt use him on charbray here in the US though...........edit looks like they are half brahman/shorthorn ,so it more like gert

 

[bigbull338]

he is a fine looking bull.

 

[brandonm_13]

Good looking animal.

 

[ga. prime]

Very interesting looking specimen.

This is what I found on the breed: The Droughtmaster breed was developed in the early 1920s, by commercial cattlemen specifically for Australia's inhospitable environment. Combining the benefits offered by Bos taurus (such as Shorthorns, Herefords and Shorthorn-Devon cross) & Bos indicus (Zebus) genetics in one breed, gave the Droughtmaster a distinct advantage over many other breeds.

I would like to see him used on some english bred cattle...

bet you'd get a nice cross on strait hereford

 

[Santas and Duhram Reds]

I'd also like to see him on some British bred cattle.

Around here they say Cows for your country, bulls for your market. The Charbray cows do well here, they have a good parasite resistance and don't suffer in the heat. They also get up and moving to browse over the entire paddock.

The Droughmaster Charbray cross provides progeny that are easy finishing, and a carcass that the market demands.

lol British Bred cows will just lay down and die in marimus' environment

nice looking bull, looks a little soft in the rear pasterns is the only thing that jumps out at me

 

[gertman]

Nice animal, looks just like a Beefmaster I had a few years ago.

 

[Angus In Texas]

Good looking bull..... testicles look a little on the small side and just a touch weak in his pasterns. Definitely has a lot of capacity and depth.

 

[Australian]

Droughtmasters cross very well with Hereford. Look a bit like what you get when you cross a Santa with a Hereford, I have some Santa/Droughtmaster cross females that I've joined to South devon and Brahman. Will get a straight coloured animal.
Droughtmasters are one of the most popular breeds in Northern Australia behind the Brahman in popularity.

that's good, look's like yall have consistantcy bred into em then

 

[Australian]

Consistency is the word. Colour can vary from dark red to a lighter copper colour. But never brindle.The breed has been going for a long time so any colour discrepancy has been obliterated.I believe there was a problem at one time with some that they were a little light in the hindquarters. There was a time when there was a move to incorporate Limousin into them. thank goodness that didn't happen.

I like this thick bull, who seems without flaws!
