If I may ask why a Brahman?
I'd check out the breed website you should be able to find a list off breeders there
if not there look in the back of an issue of the gulf cost cattleman or the cattleman mags and try those ranches that would give you a good start
Why a Brahman?
In my pasture, with the exception of a few novelty cows ( Watusi ), I have grey Brahman, and F1 Brafords. The heifer that she shows will end up in our pasture, and the HLSR does not have a class for F1 Braford in 2014, only leaving the Brahman as an option.
I have spoken at length with Chris, the president of ABBA, and he has given me a few leads to check out. I just figured I would post up here and see what the ETHD knowledge base might have to offer in addition to my previous research.
BTW, thanks for the PM's that I have received, I will follow up with the contacts that have been provided thus far.
I think what you are calling a F1 braford is just a F1 tigerstripe. Brafords are a breed unto themselves much like brangus. Brafords are not half brahman and half hereford. They even have a registry for them.
Help me out here.... It won't be the first time I have been wrong about something...
You are correct, mine are 1/2 brahman 1/2 hereford aka F1 Braford aka F1 Tigerstripe
Braford = a breed unto itself, I understand this to be ~ 3/8 brahman 5/8 hereford
However, To my knowledge, the term F1 Braford and F1 tigerstripe have always been interchangeable, and used to reference a 1st generation cross of a brahman/hereford. I also use the term F1 Brangus to reference a brahman/angus cross.
Here's a link that somewhat supports the use of the "F1 Braford" as an accepted term.
