About the Breed


The Black Angus cow breed, also known as Aberdeen Angus, has a rich history that traces back to Scotland. Here is a brief overview of its development:
  • Origins in Scotland: The Black Angus breed originated in the rugged, hilly regions of northeastern Scotland, primarily in the counties of Aberdeen and Angus. Cattle farmers in these areas began selectively breeding black cattle with a natural ability to thrive in the harsh climate and terrain.
  • Early Selection: In the early 19th century, the breed's development saw an emphasis on selecting cattle with desirable traits like hardiness, good maternal instincts, and efficient meat production. The black coloration was favored due to its natural camouflage in the Scottish landscape.
  • The Aberdeen Angus Herd Book: In 1862, the first herd book for Aberdeen Angus cattle was established in Scotland. This herd book served as a registry to document and preserve the breed's lineage, pedigree, and genetic characteristics.
  • Introduction to the United States: The breed's introduction to the United States began in the late 19th century. The first Angus cattle were imported to Kansas in 1873. Their ability to thrive in various climates and their meat quality made them popular among American ranchers.
  • Breed Standardization: Over time, the breed was refined and standardized through careful selection, ensuring that desirable traits were consistently passed on to subsequent generations. Angus cattle became known for their high-quality marbled beef, tenderness, and adaptability.
  • Modern Angus Cattle: Today, Black Angus cattle are one of the most popular and widely recognized beef cattle breeds worldwide. They are prized for their efficient meat production, excellent carcass qualities, and ease of handling. Angus beef is favored by consumers for its exceptional taste and tenderness.
  • Angus Associations: Various Angus cattle associations were formed in different countries, including the American Angus Association (founded in 1883) and the Canadian Angus Association (founded in 1905). These associations continue to play a crucial role in maintaining breed standards, promoting Angus cattle, and supporting breeders.
  • Global Spread: The popularity of Black Angus cattle continues to grow worldwide, with breeding programs established in numerous countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South America.
The development of the Black Angus cow breed represents a testament to the success of selective breeding and the enduring qualities that have made them a preferred choice for beef production and cattle ranching around the globe.
