When I first bought my home, my neighbor still rented the pasture behind to someone with a herd of Brangus. I loved to watch the calves get frisky out there. Pretty little black babies, fun to watch them.
It was disappointing, tho, to take visiting children to the fence, only to have the cows and calves scatter.
But the bull wouldn’t deign to notice me or anyone else. Heaven help anyone whom he DID notice, LOL!

My brother’s prize Brahma bull just happened to socialize with some of our young dairy heifers
One Brahma-Jersey heifer result would go under fence if before she could not jump them
Angus (not all black - there are red Angus too) are mostly a gentle well-mannered breed
Breed a Brahma to an Angus and you have a devil in your pasture - dunno why - nasty result - most cattlemen know of this
Santa Gertrudis (King Ranch) are not as bad as Brahmas or Brangus
There is also the Beefalo - no much of popular breed
Whiteface always seemed to be a problem with screwworms and eye infections in South Florida
Brahmas could usually thrive on sandland pasture when other breeds would lose weight and require pasture like the high nitrogen mucklands around Belle Glade (another great auction and show facility there)
