Where was brangus breed originated?
A review of the development of the Brangus breed would take us back beyond the founding of the American Brangus Breeders Association in 1949; however, registered Brangus descend from the foundation animals recorded that year or registered Brahman and Angus cattle enrolled since then. Much of the early work in crossing Brahman and Angus cattle was done at the USDA Experiment Station in Jeanerette, Louisiana. According to the USDA 1935 Yearbook in Agriculture the research with these crossed started about 1932
During the same period, Clear Creek Ranch of Welch, Oklahoma and Grenada, Mississippi, Raymond Pope of Vinita, Oklahoma, the Essar Ranch of San Antonio, Texas, and 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 are noted.
The early breeders from 16 states and Canada met in Vinita, Oklahoma, on July 2, 1949, and organized the American Brangus Breeders Association, later renamed the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA), with headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, and eventually San Antonio, Texas, where the permanent headquarters has been located since January, 1973. There are now members in nearly every state, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Central America, Argentina, and South Rhodesia in Africa.
Registered Brangus must be 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus, solid black and polled. Both sire and dam must be recorded with the International Brangus Breeders Association. Foundation Angus and Brahman cattle must be registered in their respective breed association prior to being enrolled with the IBBA. Intermediate crosses necessary to reach the 3/8 - 5/8 percentage are certified by the IBBA.
In recent years, the major portion of the Brangus registered are from Brangus parents, but an increasing number of foundation Brahman and Angus are being enrolled as the breed achieves greater recognition.
Interest in developing breeds of cattle carrying some percentage of Brahman breeding for the general improvement of the commercial cattle of the United States speaks well for the apparent advantages that Bos indicus cattle have in areas of high heat and humidity.
Research at Louisiana has indicated that Brangus cows increased their weights during the summer months while Angus cows lost weight, indicating that they were more adapted to coastal climates. Calves from Brangus were heavier at birth and weaning and for total pounds produced per cow. The Angus had an advantage in conception rate and calved earlier, and the calves were more vigorous at birth and survived better to weaning.
The breed have proven resistant to heat and high humidity. Under conditions of cool and cold climate they seem to produce enough hair for adequate protection. The cows are good mothers and the calves are usually of medium size at birth. The cattle respond well to conditions of abundant feed but have exhibited hardiness under conditions of stress.

That would most likely be the Akhal-Teke horse from Turkmenistan. They have a metallic sheen to their coats caused by the way the hair shaft is formed.

What are the top 5 worst horse breeds?
There really is no such thing as a "worse" horse breed or breeds, just like there are no best horse breeds either. Worst really depends on what you are referring to as the worst, like with ranching, show jumping, for draft work, horse racing, for beginners or just as a leisure horse. Besides, there are more variations in temperament within breeds than there is between breeds.
What is a hotblood horse breed?
A hot-blooded horse is the lighter, more refined 'type' of horse. There are three categories, Cold-blood, Warm-blood and Hot-blood This does in no way, shape or form refer the the type of horses blood temperature but refers the the build and origin of the horses breed.
For example~
Clydesdale - Cold-blood
Irish Hunter - Warm-blood
Arabian - Hot-blood
Another reason why horses are divided into these three groups is because of the terrain and conditions the ancestors of the particular breed was bred into. The Egyptian Arab for example was bred into hot, rocky terrain with little food, resulting in a fast, light and intelligent horse.
The cold-bloods (draft breeds) on the other hand lived in places with plenty of food and cooler conditions, results in a big-bodied horse.
Which breeds of horses can be liver chestnut?
Many breeds of horses can be liver chestnut. It depends on their parents, who pass on this trait. Normally, at least one of the parents has to be chestnut (if both parents are chestnut, then the foal will be chestnut ... but not necessarily liver chestnut). Color is never a guarantee in breeding horses, although the foal is chestnut, it might not be LIVER! Arabians, Morgans, Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, Quarter Horses, Saddlebreds, Tennessee Walkers, Paso Finos, to name a few. This also includes many pony and draft breeds, which can also be chestnut. On the other hand, an Andalusion or a Lippizaner can never be chestnut; they are always born black and turn grey (or white with age). Also a Friesian horse is always black. Many other breeds of horse have their own color patterns and can never be chestnut. In any case, it mostly depends on the parents and the color gene they carry.
What breed of horse did George Washington ride into battle?
My research has indicated that "Nelson" was a pure-bred Arabian. A breed known for its endurance, strength, and intelligence. The Arabian Stallion "Mustafa al Zarina" of Somerset Park Arabian Farm has been noted as an "extreemely accurate look-a-like of President Washington's favorite horse." I have found a website for that breeding farm: somersetparkarabians.com . They have many pictures of this horse as well as others. I found it interesting and informative on the breed, and horses in general.
