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 were brought to Victoria, Kansas in the United States from Scotland by George Grant in 1873.
First cattle were brought into the Americas in the late 1400's by the Spanish. In the 1600's, European settlers brought more cattle to the New World. But in all honesty, ranchers have been raising cattle since the late 1400's, which is around 500 years. So, ranchers have been raising cattle in the USA for around 500 years.
Charbray cattle came to the US. in the 1930's when Texan cattlemen brought in Charolais bulls from Mexico to use in their predominately Brahman herds. They found that the resultant progeny grew faster, weaned heavier and dressed better than their straight-bred cousins.
Cattle have had a positive impact on the US by supplying a nutritious food source. The cattle industry is a very large portion of the economy.
Yes cattle were brought to America. Dairy cattle from Europe and it is believed that beef cattle were brought over with slaves from Africa.

These were the first breed of cattle to ever come to the Americas, long before Herefords or any other breed arrived to the US. Longhorns were the feral descendents to the Spanish cattle that arrived with Christopher Columbus when he came to America in the late 13th century. Because these cattle had over 300 years to populate the lower part of the United States and because they were the only source of beef available at the time, they were the only cattle that were used during the "Cattle Kingdom."
It is not known who exactly brought the Simmental breed into the US, but there were several reports of when Simmentals were brought into America: "There are reports from a variety of sources indicating that Simmental cattle arrived in the United States before the turn of the century. Simmental were reported as early as 1887 in Illinois, according to one source; in 1895 in New Jersey; and in both New York and New Mexico around the 1916 to 1920 period."

The first beef cattle variety developed in the US was the Hereford breed. It was introduced in the early 19th century and became popular for its hardiness, adaptability, and desirable beef characteristics.
