Ibagé
(most common name)

(local/other name):
• Brangus

The Ibagé is a composite breed of:

Nelore (3/8) × Aberdeen-Angus (5/8)

The Ibagé began development around 1940 at a Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation) research center known as the Cinco Cruzes Research Station in Bagé in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

A Brazilian breed society that formed in 1979 adopted the name ‘Brangus’ to facilitate international exchange with the USA Brahman/Aberdeen-Angus composite known as the Brangus.
