[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1829450, member: 40587"] I haven't seen a mature cow yet, but we going tomorrow to see some he sold. The calves he had yesterday are 5 mos old or so. Not much difference in size as far as them vs the straight Gerts. I would assume the maturity rate of those cross heifers would be about the same as in Gerts or Brafords. The ones we are going to see were bred at 18-20 months old, but I dunno if it was waiting on them to nature a little more, or if the guy just wanted them to calve at a certain time. Will know more after tomorrow. There was no distinguishable difference in the appearance of the fI cows' calves and the Brafords' calves. They have a tad more ear and leather than the traditional Gert x Herf. About like the difference in a Brangus and an UltraBlack. [/QUOTE]
