What to breed my nurse cows to?

[Stocker Steve]

Why would you go Brahman X for direct beef sales in the mid south?

So I could get some good replacement cows

Okay. So you want replacements for a nurse cow herd?

Who said it was a nurse cow herd?

 

[Stocker Steve]

I have 3 nurse cows that I would like to see what people have bred there dairy cows to and was able to keep the replacements

the poster was not clear,

Would really like to get some replacements to add to beef herd.

I did some research on the Aubrac bull Trin had in his tank ... he's an 81% crossbred bull, chocolate brown and not a fullblood (therefore less heterosis than a fullblood).

I will say I've flushed to this bulls paternal grandsire, and I used to own his maternal granddam ... a very solid F1 Aubrac x Limmy cow who produced annually after her 10th birthday. I've also seen his paternal granddam at her 16th birthday, producing annually - she's an excellent cow.

I've never eaten any of his offspring and I've never DNA tested this bull.

So, other than that, I really can't offer any specific comments on the future beef other than I would suspect that, depending on the beef quality traits the cows possess, the beef should be good eating or better. I would also suspect any replacements would have good mama cow traits.

Good luck!
