Beefmaster

What is a "Beefmaster"?

Beefmaster is a breed of beef cattle that originated in the United States and is known for its versatility and adaptability. Beefmasters are a composite breed, developed by crossbreeding Hereford, Shorthorn, and Brahman cattle. They are typically red or black in color and have a medium to large frame with good muscling and a well-balanced conformation. Beefmasters are known for their excellent meat quality, with well-marbled and tender beef that is highly prized in the beef industry. They are also known for their heat tolerance, disease resistance, and ability to thrive in various environments, making them well-suited for different climates and production systems. Beefmasters are often used in commercial beef operations due to their efficient conversion of forage into meat and their ability to perform well in both grass-fed and grain-fed production systems. They are also used in crossbreeding programs to improve meat quality, adaptability, and performance in beef cattle herds.
