Can you check my math

[HDRider]

Brangus is 63% Angus & 38% Brahma.

If I start with Angus Plus which is 81% Angus, and 19% Brahma, bred to a 100% Angus, the offspring would be 91% Angus and 9% Brahma. Right?

 

[Cross-7]

63+38 = 101
Sorry I know it's a typo and doesn't answer your question

.Angus Plus which is 81% Angus, and 19% Brahma, bred to a 100% Angus, the offspring would be 91% Angus and 9% Brahma. Right?

19/2 = 9.5
81+ 9.5 = 90.5

19/2 = 9.5
81+ 9.5 = 90.5

He was rounding off the percentages. It's actually 62.5% (5/8) and 37.5% (3/8), which does add up to 100%.

Those are the decimal values. He was talking about percentages.

Rounding via Excel.

I guess English ain't my strong suit either. I don't understand what you mean by 81+ 9.5 = 90.5

You were right
I was just doing the math
Brahma 9.5%
Add the 9.5 % brahma lost to the angus
81 + 9.5
You were right to begin with I was just splitting hairs, my apology

 

[HDRider]

Thanks..

Further..
So the terminal calf would be ~5% Brahma?

My real question is, how much Brahma does it take to protect against Anaplasmosis?

 

[Hunter]

I was looking at this equation this morning wondering if it would help to add some Brangus or Angus Plus cows to my heard. Thanks for information.

 

[HDRider]

Anyone?

 

[BC]

In my opinion, the Angus plus (.1875%) is about a low of a percent Brahman influence that you get much benefit.

 

[RanchMan90]

I like brammers, the male offspring just don't sell well. 70 cents per lb in my area. You may do OK with angus plus cows bred back Angus or herf though.

I'd be interested in seeing information that discusses genetic solutions to Anaplasmosis or other diseases. Feel free to post it or send it privately if you'd rather. Thanks.

10% is the same as .10

All I have is antidotal. Just people saying the Barham helped. Not sure how much of it you need.

OK. Just curious as Anaplasmosis has struck about every breed of cattle I've had, except two. I was hoping some university somewhere had written that up. Thanks.

I'd be interested in hearing from th Brahma guys down south, Alacowman, Caustic and so on

 

[BRYANT]

The year I had the outbreak it didn't matter if they had Brahman in them or not. Now the least amount or Brahman I have in my cows is 1/4. Brahman helps with a lot of things, BUT its not the cure all for every problem. that year I lost a Brangus and one of the nicest looking Beefmaster cows I have ever seen. Also had a big Tiger cow abort and almost die from it.
my guess is its not that they will get Anaplasmosis but the fact that flies and ticks don't bother them as bad. I said AS BAD they still get ticks and flies.

Didn't Linda lost one of her bulls (Simbra influenced) to it?

Let me guess Aubrac is one of the two breeds?
