The Red Angus History

" "Seven innovative families chose to use Red Angus in 1954 to establish the industry’s first performance registry. Throughout its history, the Red Angus Association of America has maintained this objective focus and has earned a well deserved reputation for leadership and innovation. By making the right choices over time, and ignoring the short term pressures of industry fads, demand for Red Angus genetics by the beef industry is at an all time high."

RED HIDE COLOR HAS THREE DISTINCT ADVANTAGES:

RED HIDE COLOR HAS THREE DISTINCT ADVANTAGES:
"1)Red is the most populous color of cattle breeds world wide. Red Angus provides a continuity and uniformity of color to any crossbreeding system. 2) Red is more heat tolerant than black and the bronze pigmentation gives great resistance to cancer eye and sun burned udders. The majority of the world’s cattle are in areas that need heat tolerance, so the red color is a definite advantage. 3) Being crossed red always breeds true. Red Angus carry no diluter genes and thus avoid the grays that result when crossbreeding with blacks." Follow this link and click History Brochure to read complete history.

Idaho JR. Beef Expo

Lady
 This was my first year attending the Idaho JR. Beef Expo in Twin Falls Idaho. I have only shown at County level and had no ideal what to expect. I show my heifer Lady and one of my steers Fabio. Attended a Judging Contest and a grooming clinic put on by  Sullivan's My heifer nor my steer placed; but the education more than paid for the entry fees.      (Education Is Power)

There was at least eight head of Red Angus at the Expo this year; the most in the barn in this area that I have seen, and who know maybe one of these day we will have A Red Angus Class; as for this year we had to show in the all other breeds class.

It was nice to see other Red Angus there. I wish I would have interview the young lady showing her cattle; but I guess hind sight is 20-20 I will make a point of that next time There is Red Angus in the barn. Just so you know they had some beautiful Heifers at the show.
