Angus cow

Aberdeen-Angus is the original name of the breed as developed in Scotland and the term is still in use as such in the United Kingdom. Angus cattle are solid black cattle, although white may appear on the udder. Red Angus cattle do occur as the result of a recessive gene. Some Angus herdbooks register red animals, but the American Angus Association does not register red animals. However, there is a recognized herdbook and breed association for American Red Angus. Angus of either color are hardy, undemanding, adaptable, mature at around two years of age, 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 advertised as a carcass breed -meaning that they are not used for dairy purposes, but for meat- despite the fact that their carcasses exhibit lower dressing percents, smaller ribeyes and have significant outer fat layer requiring trimming.^{[citation needed]} They are used widely in crossbreeding to improve marbling and milking ability. Angus females calve easily (i.e., give birth without as much stress), partly because of the small size of a typical Angus calf, and have good calf rearing ability at a cost of overall performance. They are also used as a genetic dehorner as the polled gene is passed on as a dominant trait. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...

As of the latter part of 2003 and early 2004, the American fast food industry has assisted in a public relations campaign to promote the supposedly superior quality of beef produced from Angus cattle (“Angus beef”). This promotion for Angus beef took hold in the consumer public, despite complaints that beef suppliers were merely presenting the same quality beef with a fancy name and a higher price ([1] "Mad about Angus," Philippine Daily Inquirer, February 24, 2005). 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
