No, not in the United States. Angus cattle are black and only black in colour. It is allowable to have a little white behind the navel on the belly, but other than that, they're all black.Red Angus cattle are red in colouration. In the United States Red Angus and Angus cattle are two separate breeds and two separate colourations.
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.

Angus cattle range from 1000 to 2000 lbs in weight and can stand from 5 ft to 6 ft tall at the shoulder.

Aberdeen Angus cows come in two colours: Red, which is recognized by the North American breed Red Angus, and Black, which comprises of the breed Angus or, in Canada and the United Kingdom, Black Angus.

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.
Today, it's at least 80% of cattle are Angus or Angus-sired.
