Angus cattle (ăng`gəs), breed of black polled (hornless) beef cattle, originated in Scotland and introduced in 1873 to the United States, where they have become well established. Often called Black Angus or Aberdeen Angus cattle, they have low, compact bodies and are noted for the fine quality of their flesh. As a breed, they lack the size of Shorthorn and Hereford cattle. In recent years, the Red Angus breed of cattle has been derived from red cattle born in registered black herds. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Eagle River Angus Farm, owned and operated by Phil Ehnle and his son, David, consists of corn, soybeans and Angus cattle. That also doesn't count premiums paid for the high quality beef the Irsik brothers consistently yield from 1,500 head of Angus cattle. The corn grows high, soybean bushes sprout nary a weed, the Black Angus cattle look fed and fit. |
