Wouldn't that just water down the hetrosis?Santas and Duhram Reds":1w1jorsu said:Santas, Beefmaster, Brangus. Wouldn't personally do an eared breed where the other breed is a Continental breed.

well start with the cows that are obviously already working in his enviroment,, but one half is a maternal breed and the other half is used for terminal in a crossbred situation,,, the charolais should be on the tail end of this system.... if he wants heavy calves, but they should be terminal... going with the brahman, will not give him heavy . and only mongrel replacements.... the brahman needs to be in the F1 momas in our enviroment ,,heat, milk, insect's. motherin'hooknline":2vn57dnj said:Wouldn't that just water down the hetrosis?Santas and Duhram Reds":2vn57dnj said:Santas, Beefmaster, Brangus.

I understand that breeding to brahma wouldn't be the norm, but help me understand how it's going backwards. if you wanted to put some heat tolerance on em without muddying the waters I would think that brahma would be the way to go.
