    Have a few Brahman on the go this season, now they are cool, super easy to rear and real conversation starters
    NOW you talking...back in 80s they called them tarindikiss spelt wrong but sounds right..... the AI folks were putting pure bulls across herd cows and heifers,the female calves were being shipped overseas to start herds with increased vigour and great drought and parisite resistance.....two things to note...they hit ground and RUN LIKE STINK...you have about an hour to get a hold of them or will be bulldogging off motorbike......fences??what fences to calf..... and the colours are amazing..... but the best bit,the calving,even heifers poke out big calves just like spitting out sausages,its like the calves have no bony corners to get stuck...its always amazed me the breed hasnt been kept on for heifer for just that reason...photos of your wee fellas please.
