In recent years, the major portion of the Brangus registered are from Brangus parents, but an increasing number of foundation Brahman and Angus are being enrolled as the breed achieves greater recognition. Beef Quality Early Puberty Muscularity Maternal Strengths Brangus would not perform in the outstanding manner they do if the two parent breeds were not each outstanding in their respective strong traits. The combination results in a breed that is superior to either original foundation parent breed. The Brahman, through rigorous natural selection, developed disease resistance and overall hardiness unmatched by any breed. This breed also tends to be quite docile when in regular contact with man.

Calving ease, due to a large birth canal and a small birth weight, is a strong Brahman trait. The Brahman breed is also noted for longevity. The Angus is the premier beef quality breed. No other breed can match the eating qualities which make Angus beef second to none. A major reason for this advantage is the fact that Angus tend to marble at a relatively earlier age than most breeds and, consequently, will reach the desired grade at a more acceptable slaughter weight.
