[QUOTE="HFX, post: 759965, member: 14171"] Still plenty of that kind out there unfortunately, however that is life. Alacattleman, it would be a waste not to chase F1 progeny; however that sort of registered cow in Australia is far more valuable for breeding seed stock. Although, we do also run a commercial herd that contains a mix of both Droughtmaster and Brahman. The lower quality breeders are joined to charolais bulls and as of last year we ran a few Angus bulls. We use very compact, thick and early maturing types for this purpose. We have rough range country that requires a tougher breeder base with good foraging ability. The cows also get ‘flogged’ a lot by Dingoes and ticks and we find the purebloods tend to work better under these conditions. This area still has a number of scrubbers which are descendants of the Herefords that were run in the district prior to the introduction of brahman blood. From what I have been reading here the Herefords seem to be definitely the favourite breed for you guys. I’ve enjoyed reading the stories and seeing some of those older sires which have been posted up. Any chance anyone has some information or photos on the US Brahman sires used in the past and maybe those that were imported by the early Aussie breeders? [/QUOTE]
