Well, the red angus and Brangus don't have one, or they would be black. We know it couldnt be form the Carloalis..these are cows form one of the most expensive Charolais herds there is...selling 6 figure bulls and 5 figure cows and embryos, that the owners didn't want to register for various reasons. Would it be from the Brahma in the CHarbray? If so, they should have been smoky colored, but these Charbray are as show white as the Chars.
To me, those calves looked a tiny bit more orange than red, lighter than the red angus and red brangus sires,. But, there are no red cattle anywhere in the pasture. Were they standing beside red angus/brangus dams, they may have appeared darker...same shade as the sires, where as standing next to show white cows they may appear lighter.
There have been lots of phony benefits in ag that made money. Most didn't help the producer one bit tho.
Now that sounds like a plan for somebody!
What's the going price on a Wagyu bull?
Whatever ya can get I reckon huh?
U buy him, and I'll let him breed my heifers this June. If we market them calves just right, we will make a killing!
I been saying they are kind of orange. About the color of a Guernsey, maybe? All of them, the red Brangus x char and the red angus x Charbray look identical. I was thinking Braun might be good choice as well. Might make a little better replacement heifer. If I see him again and he asks my opinion, I might suggest trying all 3: Fleck, Simm and Braun, There will be 53 alltogether..30 red Br x char and 23 RA x charbray. He could do 16 or 17 of each. Dan has or can get sexed semen for all 3 of them. If they were mine, I think I would probably do that, just out of curiosity. Man, if long ago their associations had come up with certified Hereford or certified Santa Gertrudis, etc, beef programs, and now red hides brought a premium, one could sure enough come up with some hellacious crosses couldn't they?
Oh yeah! If there could be only 1 breed of cattle in the world, then let it be Brangus. The last few years, we have bred our Corriente herd to Brangus and this past year, to Ultrablacks. It is a satisfying experience to see a pasture full of 700 lb cows with 500 lb black polled calves nursing on them. This buyer, though, is concerned about a black bull throwing smoky calves. He doesn't like the way they look. Says they look like a Charolais that has been rolling in wet ashes! LOL I see you are in west Texas? How far from El Paso?
Are you close to I-20 or I-10?
