Anyone still using Victoria bulls or cows? Basically 3/4 Hereford 1/4 Brahman composite. I thought they will makes great cattle with Brahman blood for cold climates.

Not sure why you would want up north unless you have some rough country. The bulls across a herd of straight Hereford might do ok and could add some durability.
Better be a bulk buyer and get your name on the list. They have a slew of buyers that come in and buy 20, 30, 50 bulls a year. They usually get first pick.

Careful Brute. Comments like that may have fellers questioning your status as a brimmer pimp!

I'd rather have something that is less than 30% Brahman blood.Brute 23":1tg2sey6 said:bball":1tg2sey6 said:Brute 23":1tg2sey6 said:"Victorian Cattle" are a cross raised by Bob McCan here on the gulf coast.

Guess I should be more specific. I don't know why you would specifically want Victorian Cattle when you can get Brafords, Brangus, Beefmaster, etc all probably fairly close to you that are more acclimated already.

I might like to come take a look at them if you don't mind, unless you already have a buyer.
High percentage Brahman influenced cattle in northern regions doesn't make sense but low percentage Brahman influenced cattle do make sense and they handle harsh winters better than most brimmer composites. Better heat tolerance in hot summers where there is no trees, good longevity, good females and probably better wean weights. Plus low Brahman influenced cattle don't add much ear in the calves when crossbreeding with northern cattle so no dockage on the calves at the sale barns. Hence my interest into Victoria cattle.cattleman99":2sb6zwuw said:Why would you want Brahman influenced cattle up North? Unless your program includes rodeo stock. Makes no sense?
