[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1825246, member: 40587"] Well, people call any black cattle with[I] bos-indicus [/I]influence, Brangus. Might be a black Simm- Gyr cross, but they gonna call it Brangus. For 40 years, until last year, there was the Salacoa Valley ranch located 15 minutes from me. The 3rd or 4th largest Brangus operation in existence, depending on the year. When it sold to 2 other breeders last year, they had 1300 registered Brangus cows. They were all consistent in appearance....same body type, same ear, same leather. They looked the same when they dispersed them as they did 10, 20, 30 years ago. The Brangus association books have been closed for decades now. I think...not sure, but will look it up...that you can no longer breed reg Angus and reg American Brahman, to get the 5/8ths-3/8ths cross, and reg it as Brangus. The loose skin and ears on the Brama-cross cattle do help with heat for sure, of Chi bulls to my trading partner in Mexico, who sells them in Central and South America. but Brangus and others Brama-influenced breeds don't have the oil secretions that Brahma does, that is the insect repellant, Only other breed that does is Chiania. I have sent a lot to my trading partner in Mexico, who ships them to Central and South America. I have noticed that Chi-Angus, even those with high-percentage Chiania, are no more insect tolerant than Angus or Brangus, though. [/QUOTE]
