Braford cattle were developed by Alto Adams Jr. on his
Florida ranch in 1947. He began experimenting with various types of
Brahman-Hereford cross bulls. Eventually he identified Braford bulls that were
producing calves that met his needs and he used these bulls and their offspring
to form what is recognized as the Foundation Herd of the Braford breed in the
United States.
Brafords are known for superior maternal ability. Early
puberty, fertility, calving ease, optimum milk production, maternal aptitude
and productive longevity have earned Brafords this distinguished reputation.
Brafords consistently and efficiently produce a uniform product in specific
production environments.
Most often they have a white Hereford-like face with red eye
patches with a red body. Braford cattle are approximately 3/8 Brahman and 5/8
Hereford.
