Brangus benefits over other eared breeds is the 5/8 Angus in it's genetic pool. This percentage was developed for it 's merits, not only for the maternal traits, but the carcass traits as well. The 3/8 Brahman lends the yield grade quality, producing high quantities of yield grades 2 & 3's, and the 5/8 Angus gives the carcass quality in ribeye size, marbling, and backfat.
In recent carcass test conducted by Texas A & M University confirmed the ability of Brangus to produce exceptionally high quality carcasses. Three hundred thirty (330) steers by seventeen Brangus sires, and thirty two Angus steers by 2 high marbling accuracy Angus carcass sired were used in this test. The nineteen sires were randomly bred to predominantly Brangus females. The cattle were managed alike, fed at Tri-State Feeders and harvested at Iowa Beef processors, Amarillo, Texas.
The Warner-Bratzler Shear Force Test was conducted on ribeye samples from each of the steers. Ninety-seven percent (97%) of the Brangus samples scored "tender" or better, while 94% of the Angus samples tested tender. Fourteen of the seventeen Brangus were more favorable that the Angus average. According to the 1990 National Beef Tenderness Survey, the average for shear force rating was 7.4 lbs.
BRANGUS - THERE IS A REASON. Close comparison's.

| Avg. Carc. Wt. | Avg. Shear Force | % Tender or Better | % Choice or Better | Ave. YG | % Quality for CAB | |
| BRANGUS | 780 | 6.4 lbs. | 97% | 59.8% | 2.93 | 11% |
| ANGUS | 778 | 6.8 lbs. | 94% | 65.6% | 3.14 | 12% |
BRANGUS can produce large numbers of carcass's that may be eligible for the Certified Angus Beef Program, or CAB
