The development of the Brangus breed takes us back beyond 75 years ago with the founding of the American Brangus Breeders Association in 1949.\u00a0 Much of the early work in crossing Brahman and Angus cattle was done at the USDA Experiment Station at Jeanerette, Louisiana — the first crosses being made as far back as 1912.<\/p>\r\n

A few individual breeders in other parts of the United States and Canada were also carrying on private experimental breeding programs. They were looking for a desirable beef-type animal that would retain the Brahman’s natural ability to thrive under adverse conditions in combination with the excellent qualities for which the Angus is noted.<\/p>\r\n

Early Brangus breeders from 16 states and Canada met in Vinita, Oklahoma on July 19, 1949, and organized the American Brangus Breeders Association with headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri. The association was later renamed the International Brangus Breeders Association and is now headquartered near San Antonio, Texas.<\/p>\r\n

The Brangus breed will host its 75 Years Brangus Celebration on August 9-10, 2024, at The Worthington Renaissance Hotel in the historic Cowtown of Fort Worth, Texas. There will be a GKB Cattle Ranch Tour Sponsored by GKB Cattle on August 8th in Desdemona, Texas.<\/p>\r\n

Brangus enthusiasts are invited to celebrate the 75-year legacy with a weekend of commemoration, education, entertainment, and fellowship. The weekend events will conclude with the “Legacy of Brangus Gala” – Celebrating 75 Years, a unique, western sheik festivity.<\/p>\r\n

It’s 1956–the breed is seven-years-old and Brangus gets a role in Hollywood. The epic movie, Giant was released. To say it was hit is an understatement. It featured Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, and Clear View King Tut, a Brangus bull owned by Raymond Pope, Clear View Ranch, Vinita, Oklahoma.<\/p>\r\n

The movie tracks the lives of the family members of a ranching empire in Texas. It was James Dean’s last movie; he died in a car accident shortly after filming was completed. Based on the novel by Edna Ferber, Giant follows “Bick” Benedict (played by Rock Hudson), a Texas cattle baron. After he marries the socialite Leslie (Elizabeth Taylor), tensions mount with the young ranch hand Jett (Dean), who is envious of both Benedict’s money and his beautiful wife. After Jett receives an unexpected windfall, his wealth surpasses the Benedicts’, further fueling the rivalry.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\t\t\t\t\"410322528_122096604998155456_187544945211663516_n\"\r\n\t
