A red angus what? Cow? Bull? Heifer? Please be more specific in your questions!
Angus and Red Angus.
"Red Angus"
Are you referring to a Beefmaster-Red Angus cross cow or either Beefmaster or Red Angus? If the former, a continental breed such as Limousin, Maine Anjou, Simmental or Charolais would be a good breed to put on this cross. 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. For Red Angus, you can't beat a Hereford over an RA to get a red-baldy.
Angus cows are typically black, but some can be red due to a genetic variation. The red coloration occurs when both parents carry the recessive gene for red coat color. This trait does not affect the breed's quality or characteristics, as both black and red Angus are recognized by breed registries. Farmers may choose to raise red Angus for diversity or specific market preferences.
