What would be a good cross with a beefmaster red angus cow?

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.

How do you identify a male huffer in angus cow?

There is no such thing as a "male huffer", not even in an Angus cow or anywhere else. Unless you were trying to spell out "heifer", the question has no merit thus cannot be answered.

However, even if you were asking how to identify a "male heifer" in angus cattle (which I assume you were more likely trying to ask), there still is no such thing as a male heifer. A heifer is only female, never either male or female. Heifers are immature female bovines, or female bovines that have never given birth to a calf. Heifers are often smaller and much younger-looking than an adult Angus cow. They do not have an udder like a cow does.

What is the average hanging weight of a 20 month old Hereford Angus steer?

The average hanging weight of a 20-month-old Hereford Angus steer typically ranges from 600 to 800 pounds. Factors such as diet, genetics, and overall health can influence this weight. Generally, beef cattle at this age are well-developed, contributing to a substantial hanging weight when processed.

What do you call a cross breed of a charolais cow and an angus bull that is blue?

That cross does NOT produce a blue calf. This cross will give a GREY or smokey-grey calf, never blue. The resulting cross would simply be called a Char-Angus cross or Angus-Char or Angus-Charolais cross.

What is the growth rate of a black Angus calf?

Growth rate or ADG (Average Daily Gain) depends on what the calf is fed, how much milk it gets from its dam, and its genetics. ADG ranges from 1.5 to 3.0 lb/day.

How do you prove purebred angus cow?

DNA analysis through a blood sample. Papers of that cow's heritage also helps.

How much milk can an Angus cow make?

An Angus cow only produces around 20 to 30 lb of milk per day.

What angus bull should you buy to increase your weaning weights?

You should really purchase a bull based on not just on a one-trait selection. You should select a bull based on a bunch of traits that you need to improve on in your cowherd. Higher weaning weights correlate to less calving ease and higher birth weights, so if you have cows that are not suited to give birth to higher BW (birth weight) calves, you're in for a nasty train-wreck. You should try to find a bull that has a lot of growth but is also easy calving and have lower BW numbers in order to achieve higher WW. Don't go to extremes because you could also cause calving issues in your herd, and don't purchase a bull based on just his EPDs alone. EPDs are a tool, but they can be an almighty poor one, especially since they can blind you with their greatness and cause you to not take a second look at the crappy bull with such numbers that should've been a steer in the first place! So really look at the bull's physical characteristics, his dam and sire's numbers and conformation, and base your decisions from there.

I've no idea what kind of cows you have, what they look like or what the average BW and WW that you've had with your cow herd so there's no way that I can ever give you any suggestions on what Angus bull is best for you. That's for you to decide, and for you to do your own homework on.

Can an angus bull mate with a deer?

No. He could try, but his luck would run out real quick since a deer is in no shape way or form to be able to hold a 2000 lb Angus bull on its back.

What is the market price for black angus cattle?

That all depends on where you are selling or buying them. Location plays a huge role in cattle prices.

How good is the fertility of the Angus cow?

It can be variable, since there are far too many Angus cows around anyway, especially in the USA. Generally she should be moderately to highly fertile, able to come back in heat after 45 to 60 days after calving and calve after around 285 days of gestation. If she's taking longer than 60 days to get back to heat, she isn't worth keeping.

How much does a mature Angus bull weigh?

A typical mature Angus bull that is of a medium frame size weighs around 2000 to 2400 lbs. Smaller-framed bulls weigh around 1500 to 1900 lbs.

How many Black Angus cows should graze on an acre of pasture land?

This is highly dependent on your location, forage quantity and quality, soil type, and terrain. Some areas may have a lower stocking rate than others. For instance, in Nevada, you may be lucky to be able to graze a cow-calf pair on 10 acres of pasture per week. In North Carolina, however, you will more than likely be able to graze a pair on 1 acre of pasture per month.

What determines if a cut of beef is private selection angus?

If there is a label on the carcass that entails that it is an Angus beef product, and if there is a CAB (Certified Angus Beef) label on the package, then that tells you that the cut of beef is Angus. Without such labeling, you really wouldn't know what breed of bovine the cut of beef came from.
