Braford

Braford es una raza bovina sintética formada por el cruzamiento de animales de razas cebuinas ( Nelore, Brahman o Taba-pua) con reproductores de raza Hereford; interviniendo estas razas en las siguientes proporciones: 3/8 Cebú (37,5%) y 5/8 Hereford (62,5%). La formación de esta raza tiene el propósito de combinar caracteres deseables de cada una de las razas intervinientes. Existen las variedades astada y mocha.

Este biotipo se caracteriza por su alta producción, aún en condiciones ambientales adversas, lo que se traduce en mayor eficiencia de conversión de pasto en carne, mayor resistencia a enfermedades y parasitismos, menor selectividad al pastoreo, reconocida fertilidad, facilidad de parto, habilidad materna, longevidad, temperamento dócil y una gran plasticidad.
