The detail
Beefmasters were developed in Texas in the 1930s from Brahman, Hereford and Shorthorn. They were selected on six traits: disposition, fertility, weight, conformation, hardiness and milk, which makes them a practical ranch cow.
What to weigh
The Brahman share gives heat tolerance but can add some reactivity. They are less common in the North and in cold climates.
