I got a brown calf from my tiger heifer and a registered angus bull. Am I to assume if I breed my tiger with a hereford bull I would het something like a braford/light hereford? Anyone do this and have pictures?
Her steers will sell well and her heifers will bring a premium if you retain to about 800 pounds.BK9954":23pfau8r said:Getting hereford bull for my black cows but I like this cow so I was thinking about keeping her. So far she has been a good momma. Before she calved I was going to sell her to keep my herd uniform but with cattle prices I am considering keeping any decent stock I have.
I have had the same thing with two full sisters. I had two full sisters that were born a year apart. The sire was a Line One Horned Hereford and the momma was a Beefmaster. The oldest one looked like a straight Beefmaster that was Hereford marked. She is 9 now, very fertile, gives good milk, and raises a good calf every year. Her sister looked like a straight Hereford and milked just like a lot of them. I sent her up the road for fertility issues, but she left me a daughter that is more like her aunt than her momma.Caustic Burno":20ikp98p said:I have posted 3/4 herf/brimmer several times they will be Hereford marked as far as charistics of two full sisters one shows heavy brimmer influence the other Hereford

A great deal of the homogeneity of this herd is due to the fact it is Hereford x Nelore instead of Hereford x Brahman. An F1 Braford using Brahman can be all over the map on type and performance.
