[QUOTE="novatech, post: 813073, member: 5494"] The Brahman influence has made Brangus a more acceptable breed for my area. I still feel they are not the optimum breed just because they are black, they seem to do OK. I believe you live far enough north of our area that it makes a deference. They in fact may be the optimum composite for your climate. Most any summer they will be soaking up the sun while floating in the pond on hot summer days (my area). After having done that they go back to grazing. Not like the pure Angus that will only graze at night. For some reason I have never had to pull a Brangus out of the mud. Certainly can't say that about the Angus I have had in the past. I have no clue why. Maybe just luck. Just as I feel there are areas that black cattle will not be the optimum selection I also feel that the more Brahman influence cattle have the further south they should be. [/QUOTE]
