*Calving ease is of the utmost importance and we aim to keep the average birth weight at 32kg.
A registered Brangus is genetically buff. In this way, the labor and frustration associated with dehorning is eliminated. The Brangus is efficient in that a medium frame size cow (around 500kg) will carry a 230kg calf which is almost 47% of her body mass.
The Brangus is an economic animal that does not require special attention. Even stud bulls walk in the field. Strong maternal lines are a characteristic of the breed that reflect hardiness, adaptability, fertility and sufficient milk production.
