Spencer,
I'm in the process of getting the few Brahman that I have into the ABBA Golden Certified F1 / Certified F1 program. I figured that if I am going to have to spend the coin on a show heifer, that she might as well be able to contribute to my "program".
I tell you what, your a smart man, the F1 are hard to beat when it comes to raising a herd of good cattle. Its just hard for me to like a Brahman. My wife swears up and down when we have kids that they will show a brahman. I told my wife that there is only two types of brahmans, they are either dog gentle or Nuckin Fut's
! Growing up i showed simmental and angus.
I read this quote the other day, and there sure seems to be some truth to it... the context was about a guy asking about raising F1, and wondering if there is a market for raising some if the bulls.
""Whoa I love a Brimmer cow but I quit the tigers years ago, those boys look like they would fight a chain saw.
If you have never owned or worked Tigers you need a mentor, you lead Tigers not force them and you had better have some stud horse stout working pens. There is not a finer momma cow in the world, I guess I never thought about the bull angle, be easier to handle one nut case, but that is a whole lot of bad ass if his fuse gets lit.""
That said, I am always more alert when around eared cattle, but my worst experiences have been with some charlois that I helped work a couple years ago.
