For Brahman or Santa Gertrudis crosses (tropical breeds), a medium to high roughage diet may be adequate. For animals raised on the range from weaning to 18 months, a daily live weight gain of 0.3 kg has been reported (Animal production and range research unit 1988) and this will probably decline as the animals mature.
Brahman Influenced cattle provide explosive heterosis and growth.They will produce a 1200 pound calf-fed steer at twelve months of age. Recent data from the Texas A&M UniversityÂ´s -Ranch To Rail Program- has shown that Brahman cross steers are more efficient than any other breed or cross in terms of gain. The average steer, from other breeds, is marketed at 18 months of age. The cost savings provided by marketing 12 month old steers versus 18 month steers is tremendous.
