Angus Hybrid cattle are black polled composite cattle
developed from American Angus blended with enough Continental Breed genetics to
add lean red meat performance to the widely acknowledged Angus carcass quality
and maternal characteristics. Angus hybrids have been developed in a number of
different combinations using different continental carcass breed genetics to
achieve the desired carcass performance. True Angus hybrids are at least 5/8
American Angus and often have as much as 3/4 Angus blood. Data collected over
the past 10 years has suggested superior carcass performance can be expected
without sacrifice of the normal Angus genetic traits. Most Angus hybrids have
the performance data available and some strains have demonstrated a high
instance of tenderness and marbling gene markers.
