Santa Gertrudis

The Santa Gertrudis is a robust and versatile cattle breed known for its adaptability to various climates and terrains. Developed in the United States on the historic King Ranch in Texas, this breed is a cross between Brahman and Shorthorn cattle, embodying the resilience and heat tolerance of its Brahman lineage and the beef quality and docility of the Shorthorn. Santa Gertrudis cattle are characterized by their deep cherry-red color, distinctively long bodies, and sturdy frames, making them well-suited for beef production. Renowned for their rapid growth rates, excellent mothering abilities, and high-quality carcasses, these cattle are favored in both crossbreeding programs and purebred operations. Their ability to thrive in hot, humid conditions while maintaining a calm temperament makes Santa Gertrudis a preferred choice for producers seeking hardy and efficient beef cattle worldwide.
