Capitalizing on Crossbreeding – With so much focus on black hided cattle there are major benefits to reap by using Red Angus bulls. The advantages of crossbreeding are well documented and can have a positive impact on your net return. Multiple research studies have found 6% higher calving rate, a 4% higher calf survival rate, an 8% increase in efficiency, a 38% increase in longevity and a 23% increase in lifetime productivity (Drovers) through heterosis and breed complementarity.
Improve your Maternal Traits - Red Angus females are not just the best to keep as replacements for yourself, they are in high demand from commercial producers across the nation. Their proven longevity, fertility, adaptability and efficiency, combined with unbeatable disposition make them the ideal cow. The red hair coat also keeps them cooler in the summers allowing them to graze longer and pack the pounds on their calves while staying in good condition to breed back right on time.
Data from Superior Livestock has shown that Red Angus females command up to $11/cwt more than all other breed types, and Red Angus heifers command an average of $150 more per head cross the nation than all other breed types. That says something.
