Australian Braford

Australian Braford

The Australian Braford is a breed of beef cattle, developed in Queensland between 1946 and 1952 in a program to produce cattle that were resistant to ticks and tolerated the heat better that some other breeds. Brafords have a small hump, loose skin and a short coat that is red and white, possessing a coat pattern similar to that of Hereford cattle. [ [http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle//australianbraford/index.htm Australian Braford] ] Australian Brafords may be horned or polled. [Stephens, M ("et al"), "Handbook of Australian Livestock", Australian Meat & Livestock Export Corporation, 2000 (4th ed), ISBN 1-7403-6216-0] The genetic background of the breed is approximately 50% Hereford and 50% Brahman. Brafords are mainly found in the eastern states of Australia.
