PRESENTATION OUTLINE
ANGUS
By: JOHN DAVIDSON
ORIGIN
- The American Aberdeen-Angus Breeders’ Association was founded in Chicago, Ill. on Nov. 21, 1883, with 60 members. The name shortened in the 1950s to the American Angus Association, and the national headquarters was located in Saint Joseph, MO in 1956 where it remains today.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Angus cow’s have strong maternal instincts, superior milking ability and high fertility rates. Their docility, coupled with the breed’s moderate size and fleshing ability, makes them ideal mothers. Angus females also mature early, breed back quickly and have comparatively short gestation periods.
