Might be the cheapest, but then you have a bunch of Herefords with all the udder, foot and pink eye problems, on top of possible 100lb+ bull calves to pull. Definitely not the best, as even the ABA itself, advises strongly against Brahma bulls on Hereford and Angus cows. The OP is in NE Texas, though, so can probably find Brahma cows cheaper than we can down here.
@Caustic Burno , or maybe it was
@Brute 23 , has a chart they post form time to time, from a study done about that subject.
Back in the 60's and early 70's, the 1st Brahmas around here were bulls and people bought them to put on their Angus and Here3ford cows. and this is back when those cows stood about waist high. I recall some having to be pulled, but not no where near as much as when people first brought the cow-killer, pallet-headed Simmental and Charolais bulls around here. God, what a night mare those mf-ers were. To this day, I'd never pay $5 for either one of those 2 breeds. Granted, the Simmentals are now just about all Angus, and not quite the cow killers the original red and white ones were, but I wouldn't have one. And a Charolais bull is good for nothing but breeding Charolais cows, and they do put the atheletic ability.. the high jumps and kicks, in rodeo bulls.
