RED BRANGUS ADVANTAGE
Red Brangus Cattle have genetics that are ideal for tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Red Brangus Cattle combine the hardiness, disease resistance and unmatched maternal instincts of the Brahman breed with the superior carcass quality, fertility, maternal and milking ability of the Angus. Red Brangus calves are small at birth, averaging 70 to 75 pounds, but yield high weaning weights. These calves continue to gain efficiently in the feedlot and yield the lean and tasty Yield Grade 2, Choice carcasses the consumer demands.
In addition, Red Brangus exhibit early puberty, with heifers ready to breed at about 14 months and calve on or before their second birthdays, and bulls are ready for light service as early as 14 months. Both bulls and females retain their productivity well past many other breeds, with females still producing at 14 to 15 years of age and bulls in service at age 10 and older.
Red Brangus are a moderate size with mature females weighing in the range of 1,100 pounds and mature bulls weighing in the 2,000 pound range. Their red color is not only pleasing to many cattlemen, but eliminates pink eye and sunburned udders and allows the cattle to forage under extreme heat conditions while others are seeking shade or tanks. Their disposition makes them ideal for the wide open spaces of the western ranges and safe for the week-end rancher. The natural polling of Red Brangus eliminates the danger of horns and the management chore of dehorning.
These characteristics put Red Brangus in the category of truly great cattle:

The International Red Brangus Breeders Association (IRBBA) would like to welcome you to our website. The site has been designed to provide easily accessible important information about the Red Brangus breed and the beef industry. We believe it is very important to stay abreast with news and developments that affects the entire beef cattle business. The site will provide information about our association and all Red Brangus shows, sales and meetings.
The International Red Brangus Breeders Association (IRBBA) is a regional association of the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA). The two associations share common objectives in advancing the quality, reliability, and value of Brangus cattle, Black and Red, for the beef industry. The IRBBA is comprised of breeders who produce and market 3/8 Brahman by 5/8 Angus registered cattle.
The IRBBA exists to provide marketing avenues for registered Red Brangus cattle within the continental United States as well as tropical areas around the world. Marketing is achieved through member website listing, advertising, private treaty sales, breeder production sales, yearly shows, and an annual Association sponsored sale known as the Genetic Edge Sale. Registration of cattle, administrative functions, and Total Herd Reporting are accomplished by the IBBA.
The Association leverages its membership strengths and experience to achieve Association objectives while meeting cattle market demands of today and positioning itself to meet tomorrow's demands.

COMMERCIAL
The International Red Brangus Breeders Association (IRBBA) is comprised of breeders who produce and market 3/8 Brahman by 5/8 Angus registered cattle. The hybrid vigor behind the Red Brangus breed offer commercial cattlemen hardiness, resistance to insects and disease, excellent maternal qualities, longevity, fertility, the most heat-tolerance money can buy, and more.
Red Brangus females are moderately-sized and early-maturing. The maternal abilities these cattle offer are unmatched as they milk sufficiently, but not to excess. With shorter gestation periods, Red Brangus females also breed back more quickly than others.
The heterosis in Red Brangus genetics offers a greater profit for producers as it typically generates more revenue and less costs. Red Brangus carcasses are high-quality and produce little waste. More pounds of carcass equals more value for the producer and for the consumer.
Providing sustainable beef for the world’s growing population is something the IRBBA takes seriously. We strive to provide our members with the tools, resources and information they need to successfully raise quality cattle.
For optimal success, it’s important for commercial cattlemen to market their individual operations, as well as the cattle within those operations. IRBBA membership is a great place to start. IRBBA pledges to supply its members with opportunities and ideas for marketing your operation.
