Red Brangus
Advantage
Red Brangus Cattle have genetics that are ideal for
tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Red Brangus Cattle
combine the hardiness, disease resistance and unmatched maternal
instincts of the Brahman breed with the superior carcass quality,
fertility, maternal and milking ability of the Angus. Red Brangus
calves are small at birth, averaging 70 to 75 pounds, but yield high
weaning weights. These calves continue to gain efficiently in the
feedlot and yield the lean and tasty Yield Grade 2, Choice carcasses
the consumer demands.
In addition, Red Brangus exhibit early puberty, with heifers
ready to breed at about 14 months and calve on or before their
second birthdays, and bulls are ready for light service as early as
14 months. Both bulls and females retain their productivity well
past many other breeds, with females still producing at 14 to 15
years of age and bulls in service at age 10 and older.
Red Brangus are a moderate size with mature females weighing in
the range of 1,100 pounds and mature bulls weighing in the 2,000
pound range. Their red color is not only pleasing to many cattlemen,
but eliminates pink eye and sunburned udders and allows the cattle
to forage under extreme heat conditions while others are seeking
shade or tanks. Their disposition makes them ideal for the wide open
spaces of the western ranges and safe for the week-end rancher. The
natural polling of Red Brangus eliminates the danger of horns and
the management chore of dehorning.
To sum up, these characteristics put Red Brangus in the category
of truly great cattle. |
