Abstract
AbstractUse of an alternative breed type has been proposed as a management strategy for cow‐calf producers confronted with tick‐infested pastures. The objective of the research reported in this paper is to compare the economics of a Brahman crossbreeding (50 percent Brahman‐50 percent British) system with a British crossbreeding system. Because few estimates of breed differences are available, parametric programming was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of results to base estimates. The proposed strategy to use Brahman crosses on tick‐infested pastures is economically sound over wide ranges of the parameters considered.
