2.   Color/Description- Black or Red, pigmented coat with loose skin.  Size-Height/Weight- Males weigh up to 18oo-2ooo Females weigh up to 11oo-12oo  Horned/Polled- Polled  Maternal/Terminal- Many breeders are using terminal sites over their Brangus female herd.  Gender Difference- The female contributes a live calf and a milk supply to take advantage of the growth potential of their calves genetics. Breed Characteristics

3.   Origin- They were first originated in India then moved to Scotland then to Louisiana to get experimented on.  Import Date- 193o & The experimenting started 1942  Crossbreeding- 3/8 Brahman & 5/8 Angus  Who Developed/Imported- India, Scotland, Louisiana  Life Span- is about 13 years.  Purpose- To produce Meat. History

4.   Nutrition- Grass, Hay  Herd Identification- System One (This system utilizes a three-or four-digit number for each animal. The first number represents the year of birth. The remaining numbers represent the individual animals own number. Ex. 221or2021 2= year of birth, 12 21or 021= individual animals number  Disease Prevention/Vaccination- Pinkeye from horn, stable and face flies. Foot Rot- lameness and swelling of feet inflammation of the coronary band and skin between Dairy Care

5.  the hooves Treatment for foot rot is disinfect affected area and keep watered and feeders well drained.  Habitat Requirements- Open field preferable grassy  Cost- $3ooo to $5ooo for a mature bull

6.   Digestive System- the bodily system concerned with the ingestion, digestion, and absorption of food.  Respiratory System- The respiratory system is involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment.  Nervous System- The nervous system is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body.  Skeletal System- Anatomy

7.   Circulatory System- The circulatory system is the continuous system of tubes through which the blood is pumped around the body.  Reproductive System- The reproductive system is a collection of organs that work together for the purpose of producing a new life.  Muscular System- Provides movement in conjunction with the skeletal system Important in life support Helps heat the body

8.   Breed Registrations- Accurate genetic information is the cornerstone of a sound breeding program, and Total Herd Reporting (THR) provides the truest and most complete performance data available for calculating genetic information. As a result of THR the IBBA will soon be able to provide additional genetic measures for reproductive traits.  Resale Value- They sell them twice the amount they bought them for. Production Techniques

9.   Meat Cuts- Meat Production
