THE BREEDS OF CATTLE.
IV.—Polled Annus or Aberdeen-Annus—How They Compare
With Shorthorn* and Hereford*.
By Tiit Butler.
HE POLLED Angus is an old
breed of Scotch cattle which
were probably first imported to
this country about 1873, but the
breed has grown so rapidly in popu
larity that there are more of these
cattle now being registered In Ameri
ca than in Scotland.
Color.—This is a black breed of
hornless or muley cattle, and “scurs”
or small remnant horns, diqualify
bulls for registration, although sire
and dam may both be pure-bred ani
mals and registered. An animal of
red color is occasionally produced,
and if a registered bull and cow pro
duce a red calf it is no proof of im
pure breeding. A red Aberdeen
Angus bull calf, however, can not be
registered, and bulls with a “notice
able amount of pure white above the
' underline, or on leg or legs,” are also
; not eligible to registration for breed
ing purposes.
On cows, white udders and some
white on other parts of the under
line are not especially objectionable,
and red cows and those with small
white spots on head, body, or legs
* may be registered.
Form.—In general form this breed
differs considerably from the Short
horn and Hereford. The body is
more round or cylindrical in shape
md there is greater compactness.
The polled head is broad between
rhe eyes, moderately short with a
broad, full muzzle, presenting a good
feeder type of head. The neck is
short, and smoothly and nicely Join
ed to the shoulders, but the should
. ers are sometimes not so well covered
with flesh as they should be, and
there is some tendency to drop Just
behind the shoulder*, these being
some of the few weak point* of the
breed.
The typical Angus body has a
round turn of rib and, therefore,
the loin and back are not so broad
and flat as seen in the Shorthorn and
Hereford. Thi* does not, however,
mean that these parts are not heavi
ly fleshed in the Angus, for they pre
sent a large proportion of high class
meat in these regions in proportion
to other parts.
The body is deep, closely built and
compact, and being set on rather
smaller than the Shorthorns and the
Hereford*, but this is more appar
ent than real, for they weigh heavier
than they look, as males frequently
weigh upwards of 2,000 pounds.
As a whole, the breed matures
early and reared under proper con
ditions make excellent feeders. On
short pastures they may still retain
their smooth appearance, but do not
obtain the desired size of frame, and
oneh onnHIf Intit tt\ o XT nnf m nlra
as good feeders as the Shorthorns
or Herefords, which make larger
frames.
Their grazing and rustling quali
ties, are medium, being about on a
line in this respect with Shorthorns.
The proportion of dressed carcass to
live weight is large and the retail
butcher is very partial to the car
cass because of less waste in the form
of loose fat and bone.
In recent years the Aberdeen-An
gus have won more largely and regu
larly at the International Live Stock
shows at Chicago than any other
