Brangus cattle were developed to utilize the superior traits
of Angus and Brahman cattle. Their genetics are stabilized at 3/8 Brahman and
5/8 Angus. The combination results in a breed which unites the traits of two
highly successful parent breeds.
The Brahman, through rigorous natural selection, developed
disease resistance, overall hardiness and outstanding maternal instincts. Angus
are known for their superior carcass qualities. They are also extremely
functional females which excel in both fertility and milking ability.
Brangus have proven
resistant to heat and high humidity. Under conditions of cool and cold climate
they seem to produce enough hair for adequate protection. The cows are good
mothers and the calves are usually of medium size at birth. The cattle respond
well to conditions of abundant feed but have exhibited hardiness under poor
conditions.
