[QUOTE="MichaelB, post: 854473, member: 8794"] I wanted to know some things about Brangus cows, which is a breed that I don't see very much of in my area. I am defining a Brangus as 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus, not an F1 cross between the two breeds. o Is anyone breeding them in the upper South (VA/MD/KY/NC)? o What size frame do they generally have - small, medium, or large? o Obviously they have heat tolerance. How well do you think they would do in an environment that might see 10 degrees F at night during the winter, but little snow? If they have shelter available? o Does anyone keep Red Brangus? Do they have improved performance in the heat over black coats? o Do they tend to have small calves (I define a small calf as being 75 lb.)? o Do they generally have good udder and teat conformation, and do they make good mothers (adequate milk, protective, maternal qualities). o How common is it to breed back to purebred black angus? Does this minimize market discrimination against "ear?" If you breed Red Brangus to a black angus (pardon the mixed capitalization), do you generally get black calves or does a remote grey zebu ancestor tend to throw in a wildcard color? o What is their temperament like, in general? Are they friendly, aloof? Do they respond to good treatment? o What is it that you like about the breed, and what would you change about them? Thanks for any answers that you provide.
