Before farmers could buy paint that would protect the wood on their barn from rotting, they mixed flaxseed oil and milk along with lime and eventually with rust. The combination of this turned the liquid a red colour. When paints became available, farmers continued to paint their barns red in honor of the farmers before.

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.
