Blacktip Cattle LLC is based out of the heart of cattle county in Celebration, FL and Greensboro, AL.
These heifers are American Reds, which is a collaboration between the American Red Angus Association (RAAA) and the Santa Gertrudis Breeders International (SGBI) designed to provide a unique blend of maternal traits, adaptability, growth and marbling to commercial cattle producers. To qualify as American Red, cattle must be sired by a Red Angus bull in the top 50% of the RAAA HerdBuilder Index or sired by a Santa Gertrudis bull in the top 50% of the SGBI maternal and growth traits. The dam must be a minimum of 50% of the reciprocal breed. So, in essence, American Red cattle are composed of Red Angus and Santa Gertrudis genetics. American Reds have been tested and proven at King Ranch in Kingsville, TX. |
