[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1325541, member: 694"] They are not Brahman but a standardized composite breed that will breed true. Brahman bulls are not desirable due to the train wrecks on English cattle, they are very slow to mature along with expensive. I love brimmers bought my first brimmer cow almost fifty years ago. Had a big ole hump back bull that was dog gentle as well they still can't fix the phenomen of behemoth bull calves on English cows. I can't sell a dead calf. On a set of crossbred cows the bull selection is even more critical IMO. You have a pile of dna anomalies in the woodbox on Brahman crossbred cows . Just science it is proven that an English bull suppresses BW while not growth on this type cow. Played the game you are wanting to play before we knew the science or what a quality English or composite bull meant with highly predictable EPDs on crossbred cows. Buy a good set of chains is my advice. Good luck cause your going to need it. [/QUOTE]
