[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1320106, member: 20755"] I live in Florida. Not all Brahman are the same. I bought 2 registered heifers that were beautiful, but not docile. I had a Simmental cow that had a calf. My mom was visiting and went into the pasture to look at the calf. The two Brahman heifers were all the way at the other end of the pasture. When they saw my mom next to that calf they flew down and my mom had to climb the fence to get out. I have Brahman Holstein cows and Brahman-Brown Swiss now. I bottle fed these and they are like pets. A local breeder has been breeding registered Brahmans for years and they are as tame as any cow can be. I read somewhere that a Brahman doesn't sweat until it is 109 degrees. Anyone in a hot climate can tell you that when Angus are laying down under a shade tree a Brahman calf is out in the pasture grazing. You get docked when you sell steers or bulls with "too much ear". A quarter is the max. A large commercial breeder for Florida has 21 bulls. 19 are Angus, 1 Brahman and I Hereford. They keep Braford cows and get the calves they like...half Angus, quarter Hereford and quarter Brahman. Brahman cows make great mommas and Brahman cattle live longer and produce longer with less feed. Brahman cows can also jump fences like an Olympic horse. I'm sure not all of them do but every one I have ever had has. I like my Brahman cows and there is nothing to compare with a Brahman calf with the big floppy ears. [/QUOTE]
