[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1608006, member: 968"] I am not familiar with the upgrading program in the Brahman breed, but for "most" other breeds that ALLOW upgrading: You start with a commercial cow (that is what all your cows would be considered if they don't have registration papers). You breed to a REGISTERED PUREBRED Brahman bull. The offspring will be eligible to be registered as a 50% Brahman. Then when that female gets old enough & you breed her to a PB Brahman bull, you will get a 75% Brahman calf. 3rd cross "should" be considered a PB Brahman (if your country Brahman Association works like most of USA breed associations). You can use ALL the cows in your herd as a base to upgrade using top Brahman bull genetics (live or AI). Or - you can cull out the females that don't fit what you want in a cow based on looks or production. Hope this helps. Welcome to the boards!!! [/QUOTE]
