The breed originates in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Over the years, the Aberdeen Angus became very popular not only in Great Britain, but also in the United States, Canada and Australia, becoming one of the most common meat breeds, if not the most important. The breeders did not lose sight of acceptable body dimensions.

The Aberdeen Angus cows get through the winter without any problems. The originally Scottish breed is found worldwide and is the largest breed in terms of population.

The animals are characterised by their beam shape, because they are built wide and deep. The height varies from 110 to 130 cm. There are two colours: black and red. Black is the most common colour. The white colour on the udder is allowed.
