Almost any climate, except for the far north and far south (as in Arctic and Antarctica) and extreme desert conditions like the Mojave Desert or the Sahara Desert. Red Angus are quite adaptable, though not as good mountaineers as some of the Swiss-type breeds like Tarentaise and Simmental when getting into the mountains and knolls in the priaries and foothills, but they still find their way around. Red Angus do well up in Canada as down south in Uruguay and Argentina, as well as other places in the world where they are found. Red Angus tend to do a little better in the hot humid climates than Angus because of their thicker hide and red coat, but not nearly as good as Brahman.

What would be a good cross with a beefmaster red angus cow?

If the latter, a good bull to put on a Beefmaster would likely be, once again, a Continental breed, or a distant British breed like Hereford.

Are Angus cows good mothers?
There are many cow herds with Angus cows that are excellent mothers, some too good that the producer can't get near the calf without having momma blowing snot down his back pockets. Some Angus herds, though, may have cows with not so good mothering ability. It all depends on the individual herd and what producers have selected into or out of their Angus cow herds.
What color are Angus?
Angus or Black Angus are black. Red Angus are red.
Why is there a brown cow with black cows?
Maybe the farmer or rancher wanted to keep that particular cow along with his black ones. That does happen, you know: a large herd of commercial Black Angus cattle may include a couple Red Angus or Hereford cattle in it.
Why are some calves born different colors?
Genetics. The genes in the momma cow combine with the genes from the calf's sire to create a calf with either the same colouration of the cow or not. What breed the calf's sire matters to. For instance, a Hereford sire bred to an Angus cow results in a black-baldy calf. Or, an Angus cow that has a recessive gene for Red colour and is bred to either a Red Angus bull or a Black Angus bull also with a heterozygous gene for the red gene can most likely produce a red calf. And the examples go on.
