[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1701355, member: 40587"] Negative, Ghost Rider. I have had several Brahma x Chi and Chi X Brahma cows in the past, and they were as gentle and easy to work as any Hereford or Shorthorn there is. And, they were AWSOME baby-raising machines! I met a client in the late 90's that bred and showed draft horses in competition. He also showed a team of oxen. Half Chi and half Holstein. He kept about 5 Holstein cows he'd AI to a Chi bull, and about 5 Chi cows he AI'ed to Holstein bulls, in order to get some of these steers. After I met him, I got to buying the heifers out of these crosses, and they were gentle as could be as well. Bred them to Brangus, and they were also calf-raising machines. About 1999, he took a notice to try to raise bucking bulls, and set about developing his own "breed": A 3-way cross of Longhorn, Brahman and Chianina. He bought a young Chi bull at that time, because it was hard for him to move the Longhorns through the working facilities he had to AI. You could lead that bull around like a lead-line pony. Starting about '02 or '03. he started selling off his 2-way cross cows and heifers, as he built up his herd of 3-way cows.
