About Red Angus
Red Angus share the same Scottish heritage as Black Angus but carry the recessive red color gene. They offer the same marbling quality and feed efficiency as their black counterparts, with the added advantage of less susceptibility to eye cancer and sunburn. Red Angus have gained significant popularity in the southern United States where their lighter color is an advantage in hot climates.
