There is a reason you are still looking. Red Brangus are hard to find, there just ain't a lot of em out there and the ones I have seen ain't been the best quality around here.

There is a Red Brangus Breeders Association. You might go to their website and see if they show a list of breeders.

Why do you think the quality hasn't reached that of the blacks? I would guess the red color has limited the number of breeders trying to develop high quality genes. Most people focusing on black cattle. I sure would like to get a few Reds that were quality of blacks I have seen.

We looked on associations webpage and the members within a reasonable distance to us didn't have females available at this time.

We are in no hurry, just playing around.

25 years ago there was some good ones in SW Ar, NW La and E Tx. Haven't seen any in the last few years I've been looking. Back then I wanted to run char bulls on RB mamas and have a RB bull to make replacements. Could just buy stock from BRG and JDH and make your own.

Char bull on RB is what we were thinking. That growing your would take a while. What percent brimmer are most red brangus?

Can't they be a mix up 3/8, 5/8? Or do they have to be exact?

You can speed things up with ET.

ET makes since. Hadn't thought much about that, breed red angus cow et to a 50/50 brimmer red angus bull. Then just wait 14 months till calf, if heifer, is ready to breed. No wonder not many red brangus!

well purebred of both is 3/8 -5/8.... you can mix em as you want more brahman in the deep south less upper.... where he's at purebred would work perfect wouldnt want any more brahman in em than that
