Which breed is a USA cross between two well-known breeds, typically black or red in color with loose skin?

• A. Beef Master
• B. Brangus
• C. Angus
• D. Hereford

Answer: (B)

Brangus is a U.S. cross between two well-known beef breeds, designed to blend their best traits. It comes from crossing Brahman, which contributes loose skin and heat tolerance, with Angus, which brings strong carcass quality and familiar black or red coloring. Developed in the United States, Brangus typically appears in black or red and inherits the Brahman-influenced loose skin, making it well-suited to hot climates while maintaining good marbling and maternal performance. Other options are either pure breeds or cross-breeds that don’t match the two-breed origin or the characteristic color and skin traits described.
