Hybrid Vigor
by Jackie Moranty

Age Rating: 1 to 127

 
David, this one's for you. Awhile ago, you asked what a Brangus was. Now you have your answer.

J



The Brahma comes from Texas.
The Angus from God knows where.
If you mix the two together,
the eatin’s good and the attitude’s fair.

The bulk and size we go for,
are genetically seen.
The attitude is extra,
for they are rarely mean.

However, genetics are tricky,
sometimes it’s not a good mix.
That old hybrid vigor,
can certainly play some tricks.

You’ll get ‘em mean and nasty,
with the Devil in their eyes.
Not much meat on them old bones,
and horns like railroad ties.

You’ll get ‘em small and rangy,
but as sweet as they can be.
Or you’ll get ‘em big and honky,
willing to knock you to your knees.

So when we speak of “Brangus”,
It’s the perfect cross we seek,
But when dealing with hybrid vigor,
the strongest men can become weak.

Thanks, Bev. There are probably a ton of Aberdeens out there, Robert. I think a lot of the cattle that we breed today come from other places. Stock was brought over from Spain, Scotland, everywhere with the immigrants and "settlers". These same cattle are the ones that we breed today. I've got Limosin's, Charlais and Angus right now. They're all kind of mixed up. A bunch of crosses. I bought some Holsteins once at a sale, they were really cheap. We called them Vince and Larry, the Crash Test Dummies. I was never so glad to see a couple of animals go to a freezer. Jackie

Great poem Jackie. I liked our Limonseun (spelling is wrong, sorry) Bulls - good temperments and threw nice calves. Course on my parent's farm, he mixed with hereford, angus, holestein, jersey - we had a real hodge podge of critters. LOL! Enjoyed reading all about the brangus!

*ahem* I'm really not on my game today. It's not Aberdeen, TX. It's Abeline. I have no idea what I was thinking of. . . Jackie

I'm thinking that even the Aberdeen, North Carolina and maybe the Aberdeen, Texas came from across the big pond, Billy. There were a plenty lot of those folks who came this way. Jackie

You guys are right. The Aberdeen Angus was the original stock that we breed today. I just couldn't make it rhyme! Jackie

Jackie, if we are talking about steers here (Cows, bulls, whatever)then the angus that I know of (It is called Angus Beef) comes from Aberdeen. I know this is probably the wrong version from what you know but the beef that we know with the name angus in it is called Aberdeen Angus, It is a city in Scotland and the beef from an Aberdeen Angus animal is the best around here. LOL.
Hell, you are probably talking about something else as why would an Aberdeen Angus be doing there?


Lol.


John
