The Aberdeen Angus, sometimes simply Angus, is a Scottish breed of small beef cattle. It derives from cattle native to the counties of Aberdeen, Banff, Kincardine and Forfar (now Angus) in north-eastern Scotland.: 96
The Angus is naturally polled and solid black or red, although the udder may be white.
The cattle have been exported to many countries of the world; there are large populations in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South America and the United States, where in 2017 it was the most numerous beef cattle breed. In some of those countries it has been bred to be taller than the native Scottish stock.
Its conservation status worldwide is "not at risk";: 143 in the United Kingdom the original Native Aberdeen Angus – cattle not influenced by cross-breeding with imported stock – is listed by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust as "at risk".
