[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1775989, member: 40587"] Oh yeah, Braford steers wouldn't bring any more than Herefords down here...not as much as black cattle anyway. What does sell well, over much of the south and mid-west, Texas, Oklahoma, etc., is f1 Brahma x Hereford cows and heifers. They will bring more than any other commercial cow or heifer will. Of course to get them you gonna end up with half of your calves being a Braford steer, which will take a cut, like you say. But, an f1 or pure Braford bred to one of those 3 bulls you have, are gonna make a black steer or heifer with hardly any ear or leather, and have plenty of "high bread vinegar". I used to "try stuff just to see", but in today's economy, I understand anybody being reluctant to experiment, especially someone who does it for a living. I have a couple of clients that I buy for, that are in it primarily as a way to shelter money .Hell, I suspect one is actually "laundering" but it ain't none of my business, unless he tries to screw me on a deal. With these guys, they don't question what I suggest they buy, or breed, so I am going to get them, or let them, do some " try it and see"-ing. [/QUOTE]
