Aberdeen Angus

Historically, the Aberdeen-Angus was developed in the Scottish counties of Aberdeen and Angus in the northeast of Scotland during the early nineteenth
century, the huge & majestic bull remaining the pride of Scotland. A true Angus has a smooth, solid black coat. They are slow growers and produce a
very good chunk of beef, although sadly very few pure breeds now exist.
