What is a "Brangus"?
Brangus is a breed of cattle that originated in the United States through crossbreeding between Angus and Brahman cattle. They are known for their black color (although they can also be red) and moderate size, with a compact and muscular body. Brangus cattle are known for their adaptability to hot and humid climates, disease resistance, and good foraging abilities. They are also known for their excellent meat quality, with well-marbled and tender beef that is highly regarded in the beef industry. Brangus cattle are typically docile and easy to handle, making them suitable for both commercial operations and smaller farms. They are often used in crossbreeding programs to improve heat tolerance, disease resistance, and meat quality in beef cattle herds, particularly in regions with challenging environmental conditions. Brangus cattle are popular among beef producers for their combination of traits from both Angus and Brahman breeds, making them well-suited for a variety of production systems.
