[QUOTE="nap, post: 615865, member: 8447"] I have been raising Brahman cattle for many years. They fit in well with the environment in Southwest Arkansas. They are heat tolerant and pest resistant and their foraging abilities are legendary. The problem with marketing purebred Brahman cattle this far north, is that those that don't go by private treaty, are penalized at the yard. To overcome this limitation I have recently added a group of Hereford heifers and a Hereford bull to the operation. Brafords are selling well in this area and don't seem to be as penalized at the yard. We'll see. [b]Just a private not to CT.[/b] I have a doctorate in the biological sciences and my wife and only daughter are veterinarians. We have also had cattle since the early 80's, so I think we know a little about animal husbandry. I read this board because I find it to be thought provoking and insightful.
