Why Red Angus
Production, Prediction, and Profit

The Nebraska Red Angus Association (N.R.A.A.) is a non-profit breed organization working to serve its members in the areas of cattle promotion, breed improvement and continuous education of its breeder members and associates. The N.R.A.A. currently has close to 60 members, many of whom have seen second and third generations continue the family business and tradition in the Red Angus breed.

The red color of Red Angus has three distinct advantages:

1) Red is the most populous color of cattle breeds world wide. Red Angus provides a continuity and uniformity of color to any crossbreeding system.

2) Red is more heat tolerant than black and the bronze pigmentation gives great resistance to cancer eye and sun burned udders. The majority of the world's cattle are in areas that need heat tolerance, so the red color is a definite advantage.

3) Being homozygous, red crossed red always breeds true. Red Angus carry no diluter genes and thus avoid the grays that result when crossbreeding with blacks.
