Yes sir. 3 year old. Grade stock. I sold him in Feb 2014 at the sale barn in Durant, OK. with the rest of my cows. He brought $3200. No doubt today he is smiling as there are a lot of cattle along the river bottoms. Nobody would pay that for the butcher shop. Besides 3 is getting a little old for freezer beef. I don't know what he weighed. Just got the check.
Added comment: First off black sells.....go to the supermarket and check out what breed is in the high end meat display.....Angus, aka Aberdeen Angus, Scottish origin.
Good moms, good marbling, good milkers, good disposition gentile, and naturally polled....no fooling with horns, small boned (hoof weight means more meat % in the dressed carcas), early breeders (young age....450# 1st calf), doesn't affect later calving cycles, regular calvers....mine ran a constant 11 mo. cycle (every 11 months almost to the day another calf on the ground. Never lost one) on good feed and upkeep.
Braham (⅜-⅝ Angus) for pure bred registration which I never bothered) adds hot weather tolerance, increased size, gentile attribute and insect resistant tolerance. The Angus gene is predominant in the polling process and the Brangus are also naturally polled.
Excellent choice if you are looking. Predominant breed down here for obvious reasons.
