My understanding it's the result you get from "baldy" decendents that are sired by solid colored bulls, results in an animal that doesnt have the clean outlinded white face. Its more so a blotchy/striped face.

It does not make 2 cents worth of difference which way you breed them. Braford F1 calves bred either way can be tigers or red baldies, solids, and all sorts of other blends.cowboy43":3nk8w006 said:

Most gray Brahman cows and bulls are a mix of red and white. This is the primary reason you see a lot of Brahman with black on them, some more some less. They are bred this way to add pigment and produce more of the tigerstripe color. The true tiger stripe as pictured by townfarmer will usually bring a litle more money. No reason for it just does.

Grandaddy had a herd of them in the 60's. We've always called everything brindled a brindle.
Never heard the term tiger stripe until I came to this forum - and I caught a lot of grief about it. Still catch grief every now and then. It seems some only refer to F-1s as tigers. Other folks call any brindle a tiger.
I had also never heard of "second calf heifer." Jake referred to some old cows in jest as "last calf heifers" and made me spit coffee everywhere.
You just never know what term is going to pop up next.

Wow, big beautiful bovine!
That kind of cow is what I call a good cow and they are calf raising cows ,most of them are, i personaly would trade a black hided cow for them true tiger stripes, Bra. Herford cross, its not the color that makes them good it is the Bra.cross had a man try and sell me some tiger colored cows back last spring that had the color but don't think they had any Bra. blood in them they were not what i liketownfarmer":2oropsp2 said:
SORRY THIS IS NOT SOcowboy43":2oropsp2 said:
I visited a farm back in summer that has a F1 program he uses reg. Bra. cows and reg. Herford bulls, cows are white and grays, He said he gets around 55% tigers with the rest being Brafords either reds or fawns. If the cow is carrying more of the dark blue/gray in her the better the odds for a tiger. the color will have no effect on her calf raising ability BUT it will effect what kind of money the cow will bring
