Who brought red Angus cattle to the US?
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.
How many Angus cattle are currently in the US?
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.

Angus cattle were brought to Victoria, Kansas in the United States from Scotland by George Grant in 1873.
When were Red Angus cattle introduced to the USA?
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.

What percentage of US beef cattle are polled?
Since there is no actual statistical source for this, the answer to this can only be a guess: I would think that 80 to 90 percent of all beef cattle in the United States are polled. The majority of this percentage would comprise of Angus and Angus-cross cattle.
How Popular are Herefords beef cattle in the US?
Hereford cattle are the second or third most popular beef cattle in the United States, next to other more popular breeds like Angus and Charolais.
What breed of cattle has the least amount of fat out of charlais angus and charlais angus cross?
Well, for one thing, an F2 animal out of a Char-Angus x Char-Angus is definitely not a breed, but a crossbreed.Unless your asking "What breed of cattle has the least amount of fat: Charolais, Angus or Charolais Angus cross?" I assume this is the closest to what your asking, as the question you posted above makes very little sense.Charolais-Angus crossbreds are not a breed, but a composite. These cattle have the characteristics of both Charolais and Angus parents, and so wouldn't have the least amount of fat at finishing. Angus tend to mature early, and consequently put on more fat during finishing than either a Char-Angus cross or a Charolais. So, that leaves us with the final answer:A Charolais is the breed of beef cattle that has the least amount of fat content.
