Angus cattle refers to either or both of two types of naturally hornless cattle. - Black Angus, which refers to the original Scottish breed's coloration; - Red Angus, originally a breed resulting from the breeding of red cattle (imported into Britain from mainland Europe) with the original black Scottish stock, which are collected by specialist breeders. Aberdeen Angus is the original name of the black breed, which was developed in Scotland from aboriginal cattle native to the counties Aberdeenshire and Angus, and the term is still in use in the United Kingdom, Europe, and other parts of the world. Angus cattle are hardy, undemanding, and adaptable; they 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 some breeds such as the Hereford. Angus are used as beef cattle and are not used for milk intended for human consumption. They are used widely in crossbreeding to improve marbling and milking ability. Angus females calve easily . they give birth without much stress, 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.
