The History of Red Angus
Seven innovative breeders chose to use Red Angus in 1954 to establish the industry's first performance registry. Throughout its history, the Red Angus Association of America has maintained this objective focus and has earned a well deserved reputation for leadership and innovation. Because it has made the right choices over time, ignoring the short term pressure of industry fads, the Red Angus breed has attained a high level of popularity in the commercial beef industry.
"Red Angus are of exactly the same origin as (black) Angus cattle."
- Herman Purdy, "Breeds of Cattle"
