However, as the landscape of agriculture evolved, so did the Angus breed. In post-WWII America, a surge in corn production led to a shift towards grain-fed diets for cattle. Breeders selectively bred Angus cattle for traits suited to this new grain-fed diet, resulting in a modern Angus breed vastly different from its Scottish ancestors.
The modern Angus, prevalent in today's market, boasts a larger frame, optimized for grain-finishing diets. With longer legs and a digestive system adapted to processed grain feed, these cattle exhibit characteristics tailored to industrialized farming practices.
The essence of the original Aberdeen Angus remains ingrained in our heritage cattle. Our Aberdeen Angus are a throwback to a bygone era, with smaller frames, rounder shapes, and unaltered digestive tracts perfectly suited for a 100% grass-fed diet.
