Angus cattle are solid black cattle, although white may appear on the udder. However, there is a fairly recent, recognized, American breed called Red Angus. They are hardy, undemanding, adaptable, mature extremely early, and have a high carcass yield with marbled meat. They are good natured in comparison to several breeds but are more aggressive than the breeds such as the Hereford. Angus are renowned as a carcass breed. They are used widely in crossbreeding to improve carcass quality and milking ability. Angus females calve easily, partly because of the small size of a typical Angus calf, and have good calf rearing ability. They are also used as a genetic dehorner as the polled gene is passed on as a dominant trait. Angus cattle 10 from http://www. ...
