The things that are made from Angus cattle are exactly the same as what would be made from any other cattle of any other breed: hide for leather; hair for upholstery, paint brushes; the list goes on.

Not only are they good mothers, have good milking ability, are good forage converters, have a good fertility rate, and have excellent carcass merits, the breed itself has an advantage over others because of the premium that a producer would get when selling Angus cattle through the salebarn, all thanks to the initiatives from the American Angus Association that started marketing Angus beef through a program called CAB (Certified Angus Beef).
