Chiangus cattle were developed by cross breeding Chianina
and Angus to produce a black, polled composite breed. The Chiangus registry
program was adopted in 1976 by the ACA.
With the reality of value-based marketing, cattlemen using
Chiangus are in the "driver's seat" as packers develop pricing
systems that reward lean, high quality carcasses. The blend of the lean
endomorphic Italian cattle with American Angus stock was immediately recognized
for the optimum blend of modern carcass traits with traditional Angus material
traits. Chiangus bulls can go anywhere, on any country, in any climate and do
an exceptional job. They mature early and express a high degree of libido. They
are athletic, aggressive breeders that travel, locate the cows and get them
bred.
Best of all, Chiangus are backed with hard data pertaining
to performance and production that eliminates the guesswork when a producer
wants to know what he can expect from the bulls or replacement females he is
buying.
