Might get my dad to work the gate on the trailer or man the cell phone just in case.
You can tell when those Brimmer cattle don't like what's going on. They will clearly let you know. When they start squaring up to up and looking you dead in the eyes, they are not comfortable. You need to get some more cattle with them. Walk up slow, open the gate where they can clearly see it. Then back up out of the way.
Why wouldn't anyone not want a cow that is insect, disease resistant can live on barb wire and briars
while maintaining BCS producing a live healthy calf every 12 months and easily produce into there mid twenties.
I'm confused
Beefmasters....very small brimmer blood, less ears and two cold tolerant breeds in the mix.Caustic Burno":1ha51i4a said:Muddy":1ha51i4a said:Minus cold tolerance.
You better call the Lasiters in Co.and tell them the cattle they developed in Texas wont make it.
Once in a while you`ll see beefmasters in the northMuddy":136yh08h said:Beefmasters....very small brimmer blood, less ears and two cold tolerant breeds in the mix.Caustic Burno":136yh08h said:Muddy":136yh08h said:Minus cold tolerance.

We do have them here as well, but these particular local Beefmasters have bred brimmer out of them and they have more taurine looks than brimmer.ez14":13chb0lv said:Once in a while you`ll see beefmasters in the northMuddy":13chb0lv said:Beefmasters....very small brimmer blood, less ears and two cold tolerant breeds in the mix.Caustic Burno":13chb0lv said:You better call the Lasiters in Co.and tell them the cattle they developed in Texas wont make it.

And they're registered, but I'm not sure about the brimmer composites being "stabilized". You have some individuals shows brimmer influence and some individuals shows little or minimal brimmer influence. Im talking about all brimmer composites.Caustic Burno":zy9j6c2h said:Then they are not Beefmasters if the Brahman has been bred out.
They are crossbred cows, huge difference from a recognized stabilized composite breed that
produces predictable EPDs .
They were probably 50% Brahman back then but I don't think they're 50% Brahman anymore.Rafter S":3jzkgl19 said:Muddy":3jzkgl19 said:Beefmasters....very small brimmer blood, less ears and two cold tolerant breeds in the mix.Caustic Burno":3jzkgl19 said:You better call the Lasiters in Co.and tell them the cattle they developed in Texas wont make it.
I know it's been a long time since I took my cattle classes in college, but if memory serves me Beefmasters have about 1/2 Brahman blood, while the other composite breeds, such as Brangus and Santa Gertrudis, have 3/8.

You may be right. I forgot that some of them have added Angus to turn them black.
According to your post and the breed association, the exact percentage of the mixture is still unknown.Caustic Burno":3vfslg0c said:According to Muddy
I think I will defer to the Lasaters that created the breed.
The Lasater Ranch estimates that modern Beefmaster have slightly less than one-half Brahman blood and slightly more than one-fourth of Hereford and Shorthorn breeding

Muddy":1rj6bwtv said:Lol, I could say same thing to you, Caustic Burno. I just stated my opinion that I didn't think that modern beefmasters are 50% brahman currently. Maybe some of them do but they surely did good job to either hide brimmer influence or clean up the extra leather.
