Quick Summary

Brangus bull
Brangus bull Brangus bull.

The Brangus is a polled, solid black breed of beef cattle developed in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. It is a crossbreed, with its lineage tracing back to three-eighths Brahman and five-eighths Angus cattle. This crossbreeding aims to combine the Brahman's hardiness, particularly its resistance to heat and insects, with the Angus breed's improved carcass qualities. Brangus cattle are known for their straight backs and are well-suited to various climates.1234
