The Angus

The Aberdeen angus of Scottish origin. It is now widespread in the world beef breed, of which several types are bred. Initially an insignificant, small, precocious variety, it has become extremely popular after decades of breeding. It has spread throughout Europe, North and South America, as well as New Zealand and Australia. It likes high rainfall and the resulting very lush grasslands. Three men are considered to be the fathers of the breed: Hugh Watson (from Angus), William McCombie (from Aberdeenshire), George MacPherson-Grant (from Banffshire). All purebred Aberdeen Angus can trace their ancestry back to the ancestors of the pedigree sires. The pedigree was founded in 1862, and in 1879 Sir George Macpherson-Grant founded the Hornless Cattle Association, the forerunner of the present Aberdeen Angus Association.

In addition to grazing, their diet can be supplemented so that through thoughtful breeding their meat can be more palatable and marbled.

Angus is also bred in Hungary

In Hungary, the black colour variety was first studied in practice in the 1960s by Artúr Horn and his colleagues, and in the early 1970s the red colour variety was imported to the then Abony TSZ. In the mid-1980s, a herd of 60 individual black Angus was imported from Great Britain, then from America, Canada, Germany, Austria and Australia. Today, the most important herds of both colour varieties of the breed in Central Europe can be found in Hungary.
