Why did cowboys choose to go on long cattle drives following the civil war?
Those were jobs that were available. There was lots of demand back east in restaurants for beef, the cattle were raised out west far from the few western railroads, so it was necessary to hire cowboys to drive the cattle all the way from the range to the railroad. Within about 10 years the railroads expanded and went directly to where the cattle were raised and the age of cowboys and long cattle drives came to an end. The cowboys lost their jobs.
Where did the immigrants settle when they came to America?
From the time of the colonies, America has been the land of immigrants. They have settled in all areas of the country from the thirteen colonies on the east coast all the way out the western boundary of the Pacific Ocean.
What caused the end to the cattle boom and cattle drives in the mid-1800's?
Actually that's when it all really began to take off, not when it ended. Cattle drives soon ended in the late 1800's to the early 1900's because of fierce winter storms, barbed wire, drought, overgrazing, and the near extinction of the population of Longhorns originating from Spain and developed in the wilds of southwestern America.

What are the functions of black angus cattle?

What color is the Red Angus?
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.

Angus cattle with long dangling skin under the neck?
I don't think these are Angus cattle. However, it could be a very mature Angus bull with a pronounced dewlap, but my hunch is that you're looking at Black Simmental cattle with an even heavier dewlap (which is typical of all Simmentals). Today, Simmentals are getting to be looking more and more like Angus because of the Angus genetics being put in to these full-blood Simmentals.
What is the market price for black angus cattle?
That all depends on where you are selling or buying them. Location plays a huge role in cattle prices.
Do some angus cattle have horns?
It's possible, however all registeterd Angus cattle are polled. A few animals may be scurred, but that's not that common. Any black cattle that are horned are not fullblood or purebred Angus. The various Angus Associations around the world will not recognize horned black cattle as Angus cattle when a producer tries to register such animals. The scurs or horns (if they do present themselves) come from the influence and breeding-up done by producers when they have introduced Jersey and Shorthorn (earlier in the breed's history) into the Angus bloodline to deter from too much inbreeding. Both of these breeds are horned, Jersey moreso today than Shorthorn, and it should be no surprise that horns or scurs may come up in some fullblood or "purebred" Angus cattle. But as mentioned above, if such animals come about, they do not qualify to be registered and are only recognized as commercial Angus cattle.
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.
What is the nastiest breed of cattle?
This all depends on who you're asking this to. Some will say that Herefords can be the most calmest breed but have some of the most nastiest cattle out there. I hear more complaints about bad temperament in Chianina, Limousin, Charolais, and Brahman cattle. Angus and Red Angus cattle can have some wicked cattle too. The nasties depend on environment, how they were raised, and genetics.
What is the breed of hornless cattle called?
Angus, Red Angus, Red Poll, Galloway are a few breeds that are genetically hornless. Most other breeds, except Highlanders, Texas Longhorns, Florida Crackers/Pineywoods and other horned cattle, have been genetically modified to have both horned and polled cattle within the same breed.
