Simply put we chose Brangus because we did our research. We simply don't believe there is a better breed of Beef cattle to specialize in for operations in the southern United States or comparable climates.
Brangus Cattle Are:
Naturally Disease and Pest Resistant
Heat and Humidity Resistant
Hardy in Cold
Good Mothers
Good Fertility and Milk Production
Good Temperament
Polled
Gain Weight Rapidly
High Meat Quality
"Recent carcass tests conducted by Texas A&M University confirmed the ability of Brangus to produce exceptionally high quality carcasses. Three hundred thirty (330) steers by seventeen Brangus sires, and thirty two Angus steers by 2 high marbling accuracy Angus carcass sired were used in this test. The nineteen sires were randomly bred to predominantly Brangus females. The cattle were managed alike, fed at Tri-State Feeders and harvested at Iowa Beef processors, Amarillo, Texas.
The Warner-Bratzler Shear Force Test was conducted on ribeye samples from each of the steers. Ninety-seven percent (97%) of the Brangus samples scored "tender" or better, while 94% of the Angus samples tested tender. Fourteen of the seventeen Brangus were more favorable that the Angus average. According to the 1990 National Beef Tenderness Survey, the average for shear force rating was 7.4 lbs."
