[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 690664, member: 7645"] I think I would narrow my breed selection considerably. You are selecting between one English Breed, one "American" Bos Indicus derived breed, and one Continental Exotic. Very different types of cattle. I would rather select the type cattle I want first and then narrow it down too breeds within that major type of cattle. Charolias and Braunviehs are both Continental breeds like Limousins, Gelbviehs, Simmentals. The Char X females did not work out so well for you so I think that indicates that another Continental breed like the Braunvieh may not be the best option. That leaves an English breed (Angus, Hereford, Shorthorn, etc) or a Brahman derived breed (Beefmaster, Brangus, Braford, Simbrah, etc) . Since you are in Mexico, you have a problem with ticks and insects, and your focus is maternal rather than carcass, of your three favorite breeds I think I would try breeding a half Beefmaster herd.
