Characteristics Characteristics Brahman cattle may vary in color depending on the goals of the cattlemen who breed them, but their genetic purity does not.
Acceptable colors are light gray or red to almost black.
Average Brahman bulls will weigh from 1,600 to 2,200 pounds and cows from 1,000 to 1,400 pounds. Purebred calves are small to moderate at birth. It is documented that Brahman and Brahman cross females calve easily. Brahmans are recognized for intelligence and desired disposition. They are very responsive to kindness and are quite gentle when handled properly.
