 The Brangus breeding up program at Southern Cattle Company is a blending of truly the most elite genetics available in the Angus and Brahman breeds. The Southern Angus herd ranks in the top 10 Angus herds in the United States, with emphasis placed on such economically important traits as feed efficiency, carcass merit, growth, and performance. By taking those foundation genetics and crossing them to the best of the Brahman breed, great things are happening. The Brahman genetics are based around J.D. Hudgins and V8 bloodlines. By forming partnerships with J.D. Hudgins (Locke Division), Bailey Brahmans, and Alford Cattle Company, Southern has been allowed access to otherwise inaccessible genetics.
By using the best of the best Southern will be able to offer their Brangus customers something new and fresh. Because of the extensive testing that Southern does on their cattle from weaning to yearling, you can rest assured that our customers will be offered the most feed efficient, performance driven cattle with plenty of carcass merit.
Over this past spring a substantial number of percentage cattle were born. This would include ¼ bloods, ½ bloods, and ¾ blood cattle. Some of the freshest genetics in years were unveiled at the Southern Cattle Company “Facing The Future Head On” field day. It was pleasing to see the acceptance these cattle had with the customers and industry leaders that were in attendance that day. As time progresses, more genetics will be unveiled and everyone realizes that this is not a short term program. It will take a minimum of five years to truly start to see the fruits of all of the efforts but Southern Cattle Company is committed to being an industry leader and they are more than willing to make this commitment. |
