In all my yrs I never knew that was proper spelling. They’ve been brahmas all my life.
The first local ranch that I hired onto at 13 years old to mow pasture on an 8N raised brahmas bred to Durham Shorthorn bulls.
4th generation were 5/8 shorthorns 3/8 Brahma and an excellent breed.

I also always called them Brahmas and likely always will.

A Brahma bull is a male of the American Brahman breed, a large beef cattle breed developed in the United States from Indian Zebu cattle. Recognizable by their prominent shoulder hump, loose dewlap skin, and large drooping ears, Brahman cattle are among the most heat-tolerant breeds in the world and form the genetic backbone of beef production across the Gulf Coast, Latin America, and tropical regions worldwide.

I bought a pen of feeders one time and didn't realize till afterwards that there was a Brahma in the bunch. I also didn't realize till i got them home and turned them loose that 5 strands of barbed wire is not tall enough to keep a Brahma from jumping over it.

Called about a Brahma bull for sale in Lawton, Oklahoma. Ask the owner if was skittish, jumpy, etc. He said he was raised by my kids, very gentle. Drove the two hours to Lawton. Met the owner in front of his house, walked around to the back of house, bull jumped out of pen, ran to the property fence, cleared that one and kept on running.

It is certainly not advisable to make a pet out of the bulls because they become quite a nuisance. We had one got in the habit of coming up to the truck whenever we were in the pasture because he wanted a carrot or an apple and if you didn’t have anything, he would bash his big old head into the truck door like a spoiled child.
