Beefmaster is a breed of beef cattle that was developed in the early 1930s by Tom Lasater (the breed founder),[1] from a systematic crossing of Hereford cows and Shorthorn cows with Brahman bulls.
The exact mixture of the foundation cattle is unknown, but is thought to be about 25% Hereford, 25% Milking Shorthorn and 50% Brahman.
The cattle were selected by using the Six Essentials – weight, conformation, milking ability, fertility, hardiness and disposition.
These cattle are a versatile breed and adapt to many climates.
