A beefmaster is a person who raises cattle for breeding of specific cattle. And are raised for their beef.
A mature Beefmaster cow will weigh between 1300-1500 lbs with bulls weighing almost 2000 lbs.
Are you referring to a Beefmaster-Red Angus cross cow or either Beefmaster or Red Angus? If the former, a continental breed such as Limousin, Maine Anjou, Simmental or Charolais would be a good breed to put on this cross. If the latter, a good bull to put on a Beefmaster would likely be, once again, a Continental breed, or a distant British breed like Hereford. For Red Angus, you can't beat a Hereford over an RA to get a red-baldy.
She should've been dehorned when she was a calf. But you can dehorn her anytime the process is not going to affect her performance, such as not right after calving.

They are known as the "profit breed". Beefmaster cattle are 50% Brahman, 25% Hereford, and 25% milking shorthorn. They were developed to withstand high heat temperatures, and originated in Texas. They are dual purpose (they can be used for milk production or beef production), they have a great disposition, fertility rates, carcass weight, and a good carcass conformation.
The average weight of Beefmasters vary between 1300 and 1800 lbs for the cows, and 2300 to 2700 lbs for bulls.
