[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1744655, member: 40587"] I think he does for his Registered Brangus operation, but it doesn't say anything about his commercial herds and his custom replacement heifer operations on that site. He keeps those 2 entities separate. I will ask him if I can post a link to that site. He never said he was trying to develope a new composite breed...that was speculation on my part. His number 1 priority with that southern herd is custom-producing f1 Braford heifers with the Brahma cows and f1 Hereford x Brangus black baldy heifers with the Brangus cows. What I think happened...and I will ask him about it in May..is he had a slow year as far as people wanting these custom heifers, so he bred a lot of his Brahma and Brangus cows to Chi-Angus and Black Simm bulls, and kept most of those f1s to experiment with these various percentage crosses. When I went down there in March to get those 3 yr old f1 Black Brafords, they had been bred back to a Black Herford bull. They had 1 month old calves or less on them, and a few calved after we got them home. This leads me to believe either he or a client was toying with developing a Black Braford. They would have kept the 1/4 Br x 3/4 Black Herefords to breed back to 1/2 Br x 1/2 Black Hereford f1s if this were the case. But, he never even mentioned buying those calves back at weaning, so that idea must have been abandoned. It looked to me like all the Brahmas had Hereford and Black Hereford calves, as did all the Brangus when I was down there.
