Cover photo description:
Free range cattle with calves grazing in a field near Santa Ysabel California. The Aberdeen Angus, sometimes simply Angus, is a Scottish breed of small beef cattle. Most Black Angus cattle are medium to large, naturally polled with large muscle content. Average body weight for bulls is about 1,870 pounds, while cows weigh in at 1,200. Known for their heartiness, the Angus was bred to survive harsh Scottish winters with lots of snow. Overall the breed is known for a relatively easy temperament and fast growth. The darker hide pigmentation protects the breed against cancer eye and sun- and snow-burned udders, and the breed is known for easy calving.
