What breeds were involved in making the black Angus?

The Black Angus breed was developed entirely in Scotland, without any specific other breeds being involved in its creation. They were originally called "Aberdeen Angus," named after the county where they originated.

The Angus cattle are believed to have descended from native cattle in Scotland, which were then selectively bred over centuries for traits like:

* Beef quality: Angus are known for their marbling and tenderness.

* Hardiness: They are well-suited to the harsh Scottish climate.

* Maternal ability: Angus cows are known for their good mothering instincts and milk production.

Therefore, while other breeds may have influenced the development of cattle in Scotland, the Black Angus breed itself is a product of careful selection and breeding within the native Scottish cattle population.
