Spring 2018 — American Red Brangus Journal 15
The Great Commercial Beef Producer By Larry Anderson
R
ed Brangus bulls are very ideal and extremely sought after as a great Commercial Bull. Many cattlemen look for the qualities that are possessed by the Red Brangus and what they pass on to their offspring. They are moderate to large framed and are red in color, naturally polled, heavy muscled with a lot of depth and clean underlines. They will produce females that are very feminine, less ear and have good udders and milk production. They also have a high calving ease. Calves are very hardy and have high weaning weights. The Red Brangus breed is known for their disease resistance due to their thick hide. Their longevity and docility make them able to produce many calves in their long lifetime. The steer calves have very high weaning weights and the ability to convert feed into very high-quality beef in a short period of time. These calves are small at birth, averaging 70 to 75 pounds, but yield high weaning weights. These calves continue to gain efficiently in the feedlot and yield the lean and tasty Yield Grade 2 Choice carcasses the consumer demands. Red Brangus Bulls have genetics that are ideal for both tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Red Brangus Bulls combine the hardiness, disease resistance and unmatched maternal instincts of the Brahman breed with the superior carcass quality, fertility, maternal and milking ability of the Angus. Bulls can be used for breeding as early as 14 months and still in service at age 10 and older. Dr. Richard Gingles, the current Vice President of the ARBA from Long Beach, Mississippi is a strong believer of the use of Red Brangus bulls on commercial cows to produce outstanding quality steers for the feedlot. He breeds moderate frame cows that wean calves on an average of 550 pounds.
16 American Red Brangus Journal — Spring 2018
This year he sent 17 steers to a test in Oklahoma that had a slaughter weight of 1360 pounds and produced around 1000 pounds of usable carcasses. Red Brangus has always been a great Mother Cow Breed, but now is the time to see what a great Bull Breed it is by looking at what they can do in breeding quality steer calves for beef. The 17 steers were on test at Buffalo Feeders in Buffalo, Oklahoma from June through January. They went into the test at an average weight of 769 pounds they all gained during that time an additional 730 pounds or a daily average of 3.76 pounds per day. This is amazing and it shows how Red Brangus bulls pass on great gains to their calves. Beef producers are in the business of converting feed into animal product as cost efficiently as possible. Feed provision accounts for over 75% of direct costs of beef production. The Financial summary of these calves, Total Investment, which includes feeding expenses, delivery cost, feeding cost was an average of $1307.36 per head. Net Sales were at $1759.38 per head giving a Gross Profit of $452.02 per head. Carcass merit is definitely a strength the breed can bring to any operation. In today’s economy, cattle must excel on the rail and be desired by the consumer. Red Brangus cattle routinely grade Choice and produce a pleasant eating experience. Red Brangus sired calves are efficient feeders and because they have that touch of ear, they are hardy and strong. Their rates of gain and feed conversion are very desirable with documentation from studies and individual feedlot reports to validate the merits of Red Brangus calves.
Red Brangus Improve Your Bottom Line :: DISPOSITION Temperament is an important factor in the cattle business. Red Brangus have proven to be docile and easy to handle on foot, horseback, or with a vehicle.
:: CALVING EASE Red Brangus calves hit the ground weighing 70 to 75 pounds. Of course, this varies depending on the environment. Their growth is quick, often surpassing most contemporaries.
:: HARDINESS Red Brangus have the innate ability to thrive in a variety of climates. Red Brangus are solid red and naturally heat tolerant, with resistance to diseases. The eye pigmentation of Red Brangus virtually eliminates pinkeye and eye cancer. Reports from the feedlot operators claim that Red Brangus are healthier and hardier in the lot, resulting in faster weight gains and more profitable feeding.
:: MILKING ABILITY Commercial and registered breeders often praise the high volume of milk that Red Brangus females produce.They exhibit well formed udders and have no problem with sunburning due to their skin pigmentation. The high milking ability is even passed on to half-bloods retained as replacement females.
:: HIGH PERFORMANCE :: PREDICTABILITY Red Brangus cross well with many breeds. Most Red Brangus have earned the reputation of combinations result in maximum hybrid vigor. producing a large percentage of solid red or red Selection for high performing bloodlines can baldfaced, polled calves when mated to commercial produce an extra 100 pounds per calf.The weight cows.This creates uniformity at market time and gaining ability is exhibited through the yearling eliminates the need to spend the money and time stage. Feeders and branded beef programs such as to dehorn. Nolan Ryan’s All Natural Tender Aged Beef seek out Red Brangus cross calves due to profitability. :: VERSATILITY Red Brangus offer both commercial and seedstock :: SIZE producers a variety of production and marketing The ability of Red Brangus to yield high weaning options. Heifer calves stand right beside their steer and yearling weights with moderate frame size is mates with tremendous post weaning performance a big bonus for cattlemen. Mature Red Brangus in the feedyard, or they can be marketed as topbulls typically weigh in at 1,800 to 2,000 pounds, notch replacement females. while females weigh 1,000 to 1,200 pounds in range condition. :: LONGEVITY :: MARKETABILITY Typically Red Brangus bulls are in service through the age of 12, while cows are still producing well Records show that Red Brangus Sired Calves beyond the age of 14. History has proven that Red continue to top national markets and commercial Brangus live and produce at least two years longer cattlemen have consistently received top dollar at than British or Continental breeds. local auctions. Packers desire the manageable size of their carcasses and consumers demand the Yield :: EARLY MATURITY Grade 2, USDA Choice carcass that Red Brangus Red Brangus bulls mature early and can go into consistently produces. Red Brangus is documented light service well before two years of age. Most as the breed yielding more Certified Meat Sires heifers can be bred at 12 to 14 months of age, than any other American breed. producing their first calves before their second birthday. Typically Red Brangus females have less than a 12-month calving interval.

Red Brangus enthusiast and breeders know they can purchase dependable, quality, proven cattle in volume from this offering. The American Red Brangus Association and its members held their Convention Sale, Saturday, September 23rd with a great consignment of 74 lots. Cattle were consigned by breeders and purchased by breeders from several states including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Mexico. All the animals in this sale were specifically been chosen for the breed to offer a wide choice of genetics to existing Red Brangus breeders and to future new Red Brangus breeders. They chose animals from the top of the herd in many breed-leading traits and are exceptional in quality and structural soundness along with calving ease, carcass quality and overall performance. The goal of The American Red Brangus Association is to produce the finest cattle in the nation. The cattle presented in this sale showed that they can perform in all types of conditions that they can be exposed to.

The 2017 American Red Brangus Convention Sale offered quality that only years and years of selection for practical and predictable genetics present. These cattle just keep getting better and better year after year through breeding and inheritable traits from the industries standout lineages. In addition to the success with enhancing EPDs, the bulls in the offering were also in optimum breeding condition expressing muscle and shape, as well as docility. These bulls passed a very rigorous evaluation process for fertility, structural soundness and genetic merit without exception. This year The American Red Brangus Association also offered an impressive set of registered and commercial heifers and bred females. These heifers offered producers an opportunity to incorporate some of the best Red Brangus genetics into their herds and judging by the popularity of the females, buyers were appreciative of the opportunity. All of these heifers and bred females were out of productive dams that had to adhere to the same L-R: Ed Murphy, Aryon McGuire, quality standards Claudia Sander & Michael Sander and evaluation process as the bulls do. Red Brangus breeders have always paid great attention to the quality and kind of cows in their herds, which is part of the reason their herds have stood the test of time.

RED BRANGUS THE COMMERCIAL CHOICE
Red Brangus sired calf out of horned Hereford cow “Red Brangus are tough enough to stand the extremes in weather that West Texas has to offer. Winters go down to well below zero and the hot dry summer go up to 105 degrees.” “The Red Brangus calves are really small when they’re born, but in two weeks time they’ve caught up with the Hereford sired calves and they really come on!”
Red Brangus sire calf out of Gelbvieh base cow

“Out of 25 Red Brangus sired calves from black baldy and Hereford cows, I got only two black calves. And, my weaning weights are up 100 pounds.”
