In the canton of Liberia, Guanacaste Province, a family with a long history of cattle raising and a passion for the countryside decided to invest in the Brangus breed a few years ago. It has been a challenge for them, and since then they have worked intensively on genetic improvement, seeking to obtain an animal fully adapted to the tropics. Join us and learn about its history and trajectory, how the animals are handled in general, the desired breed pattern, performance, and much more.
The Brangus breed is a synthetic cattle breed. That is, the result or product of crossing two different breeds, Brahman and Angus, from which it takes original characteristics in percentages suitable for commercial breeding.
The Brangus breed is born from a genetic cross that combines the hardiness of the Brahman breed with the maternal and meat qualities of Angus. Its genetics are based on 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus.
The combination results in a breed that unites the traits of two highly successful parent breeds. The Brahman, through rigorous natural selection, developed disease resistance, overall hardiness, and outstanding maternal instincts. The Angus is known for its superior qualities. They are also extremely functional females that excel in both fertility and milking ability.
