Registered Brangus is a 3/8 Brahman X 5/8 Angus percentage cross supposedly.  The cattle may exhibit dominant characteristics of either breed. A consistent uniform calf crop is hard to achieve within any Registered Brangus herd.  Brangus cattle adapt to many habitats and cross well with many other breeds.

Ultra Black cattle, Just A Better Brangus, is a registered Angus bred to a registered Brangus which results in a 3/16 Brahman, 13/16 Angus percentage cross. These cattle are generally more moderate in size than a traditional Brangus. Their calves are more uniform and their fleshing ability is generally better. The 3/16 Brahman blood also makes for a heat resistant animal that can survive and breed in all climates. The females mature early and the bulls are very fertile.
