He’s a risk reducer, a quality builder, and a

With the world’s most comprehensive
genetic-evaluation system standing behind
him, he has built-in predictability — and that
reliability is the cornerstone of reducing risk.
Genetic trends show his calves will be born
easily, requiring less labor. They’ll grow
rapidly and efficiently, and you can keep his

When it’s time to sell his calves, they’ll
command more than just buyer interest.
They’ll bring more premiums and put more
dollars in your pocket.
Best of all, a registered Angus bull helps you
raise much more than just cattle. He puts
your herd on track to deliver the industry’s
highest-quality beef — the Certified Angus
Beef ® brand — for consumers.
That’s the advantage of a registered Angus
bull. Put one in your pasture today.

VERSATILITY AT ITS BEST
The Brahman cow is one of the most
versatile - and therefore profitable females you can use in your beef cattle
operation. She outperforms all other
cows in terms of heat tolerance,
environmental adaptability, and efficiency, all while standing unmatched for
hybrid vigor and maternal ability when
used in crossbreeding systems. Whether
she’s being used in a registered operation
or crossbreeding program, the Brahman
cow offers extreme market versatility for
the producer.
