Mike, Depends on where you are located! If you are North of Kansas's North State line You do not want any Brahmans or Brahmans X cattle . They can't take the winters up there. South then By all means You need some ear on those cattle.
My personal favorites are... F1 Tigerstriped mamas...(Hereford x Brahmans) crossed to a Black Limmy bull. This 3 way cross animal will , and can go to any Yard from The Rio Grande to Greely, Co.
Farther North and ya'll will have to loose the Brahman influence, for the thin skinned outfits will just freeze to death, so to speak. I would think that a Hereford x Charolais mama X to a Black Limmy would be a good starting place to look at.
I am a Cow/Calf man, They leaves my place at about 550 lbs. The stocker guys I know in the Panhandle of Texas prefer this sort of cross, The guy in the yards like them for the feed well, and have few problems. The packers like this sort of a cross because , they fit in the box (packing box) right.
I wont comment on feeding for that isn't my gig.
Hope this helps,
Later,
John A.
