i am going to purchase a Red Brahman bull calf to raise for my FFA project. ive been researching breeds a lot and red brahmans are what i like the most. i looked at a couple breeders in the area, and they all charged at least $1,500 for a calf. that is simply too much for me, being in high school. i was at a livestock show yesterday talking with someone who was showing red brahmans. these people offered me a 7 month old red brahman bull calf for $500, which i am amazed at. they had the sire at the show, which i was really impressed by. the sire has won many shows, taking Grand Champion Bull over a dozen times. i started thinking "why would they sell such a good animal for so cheap?" they could easily sell it for $2,000. could there be something wrong with it? they invited me to look at it and is there anything i should look for that would lead me not to buy it? think they are just such nice people they arent doing it for money just to help a student out?
off that topic i would also like to know some basic information about them. some people have said the red brahmans have a very short temper, some people have said they are like puppies. someone also said the hump on their back is very sensitive. is that true? should i avoid touching its hump? any extra information about them would be greatly appreciated.
here are some pics i took of the sire, i really wanna brag about it. im really excited about getting the animal. i saw these red brahmans and i immediately thought "i have to get one of these, they are such beautiful creatures".
