Angus

The Aberdeen Angus, sometimes simply Angus, is a Scottish breed of beef cattle. It derives from cattle native to the counties of Aberdeenshire and Angus in north-eastern Scotland.[1]

The Angus is naturally polled and solid black or red, though the udder may be white. The native colour is black, but more recently red colours have emerged.[2] The United Kingdom registers both in the same herd book, but in the United States they are regarded as two separate breeds: Red Angus and Black Angus. Black Angus is the most common breed of beef cattle in the US, with 332,421 cattle registered in 2017.[3] In 2014, the British Cattle Movement Service named Angus the UK's most popular native beef breed, and the second most popular beef breed overall

American Wagyu

In the United States, some Japanese Wagyu cattle are bred with Aberdeen Angus cattle. This crossbreed has been named American Style Kobe Beef.[13] Wagyu were first competitively exhibited at the National Western Stock Show in 2012.[14] Other U.S. Wagyu breeders have full-blooded animals directly descended from original Japanese bloodlines, that are registered through the American Wagyu Association.[15] . The result is a perfect blend of famous Wagyu buttery marbling and the robust beef flavor that American beef is known for. It is the best of both worlds.
