[QUOTE="BC, post: 567889, member: 67"] I sometimes am amazed when people question why someone would want a little "ear" on their cattle. A 1/4 Brahman blood calf is sometimes refered to as a "panhandle cross" and most of the time can be put on the same order with okie calves as long as it does not show much crest over the neck. These cattle feed well in the summer time. I do realize there are areas that do not need any Brahman influence. Every breed has cattle family lines that grade and every breed has cattle families that have carcass issues. The thing for all of us to do is to identify cattle that have desirable carcass qualities and the ability to grow efficiently. That last part maybe be as important as the high quality carcass. I personally think it is time to reach back and use some Hereford genetics after we have gone full steam ahead to make every calf black. It is my observation from sitting in sale barns that cattlemen in my area have given up weaning weight to make their calves black [/QUOTE]
