George Grant in 1873 brought Aberdeen Angus cattle to the United States. These animals were both red and black, and in no way were separated from black until breeders in the US, long after the animals were brought over from Scotland, decided to form breed associations separating red angus cattle from the blacks. In 1954 the Red Angus Association of America was formed, 81 years after the first Aberdeen Angus cattle arrived to US soil.
Around 1850.
By ships.
It is not clear when Red Angus cattle where first imported to the US, but I believe they may have came around the same time the first black Angus came to America. It is recorded, though, that the first American herdbook were published in 1886 and 1888; at that time the colour of the animals was not recorded (nor considered significant), until 1917 came around when the American Angus Association decided to prohibit any red cattle from being registered into the AAA.
In 1817.
Angus cattle are a Scottish breed of beef cattle that originated from Scotland.
ANGUS of course!!
Angus beef does not come from any part of any cow, but comes from a BREED of cattle (or cows) called Angus.
The Angus breed.
Since there are around 100 million cattle in the US, and approximately 75% of that population are Angus cattle, then that means that there are around 75 million cattle in the USA that are Angus or Angus-sourced cattle.

Today, it's at least 80% of cattle are Angus or Angus-sired.
It's possible, however all registeterd Angus cattle are polled. A few animals may be scurred, but that's not that common. Any black cattle that are horned are not fullblood or purebred Angus. The various Angus Associations around the world will not recognize horned black cattle as Angus cattle when a producer tries to register such animals. The scurs or horns (if they do present themselves) come from the influence and breeding-up done by producers when they have introduced Jersey and Shorthorn (earlier in the breed's history) into the Angus bloodline to deter from too much inbreeding. Both of these breeds are horned, Jersey moreso today than Shorthorn, and it should be no surprise that horns or scurs may come up in some fullblood or "purebred" Angus cattle. But as mentioned above, if such animals come about, they do not qualify to be registered and are only recognized as commercial Angus cattle.
