Don't want to be too "picky" but (at least in my part of SE Texas) when we refer to tigerstripes we of course mean an F1 Brahman-Hereford cross but we refer to "brindle" animals as meaning something somewhat different. The true F1 Brahman-Hereford "tigerstipe" (and not all of them actually "stripe up") will almost always have a predominantly white head and many times be "ring-eyed". Whereas, a "brindle" animal is usually darker in overall color and is generally thought to have less Hereford influence; could be a composite with Braunvieh, most certainly Brahman or Black Brangus and perhaps a bunch of other breeds in its genetic makeup --- more of a Heinz 57 type animal, but always with a strong Brahman influence. At any rate the tigerstripes and brindles generally make excellent cows for the gulf coast area. And Brahman are noted for being extremely receptive to "kind and gentle" treatment, if given that treatment when young. They of course can be wild as hell if treated improperly.
