Aberdeen Angus

Aberdeen Angus Origin

The Aberdeen Angus comes originally of the pasture-lands of Scotland, where it was bred over 100 years ago. The crossbreeding of pure Scottish Angus(AA) breed with the German two-utilisation breed began more than 40 years ago, wich is the date of birth of the German breed (DA).

Description, looks and skeleton:




Genetically accepted are black, red or brown animals with no horns. Smaller spots on the udder or lower stomach part are allowed. The favoured middle sized type incorporates a high standing cylinder-shaped body and light bones in many animals in this breed. The high meat-qouta is also a breed parameter due to broad shoulders, long and wide back, and deep going leg muscles. The early maturing, obedience, adaptation, easy birth, and good milk production to raise calves also characterise the Aberdeen Angus..

Generally used?

Because of its genetically confirmed virtues - it is widely know for its gentle fibred and well vascularised meat production - these qualities are often preferred in breeding and crossbreeding. These animals are specially qualified for producing beef, but a solid feeding is required to prevent early fatting. Minding the pasture-ground, the Aberdeen Angus can be held outside the whole year.
