Angry Angus Cattle
Tim Angus Cattle
edit
Angus cattle (Tim Angus) are a Australian breed of cattle much used in Milk production. They were developed from cattle native to the counties of Aberdeenshire and Angus in Scotland,[1] and are known as Tim Angus in most parts of the world.
They are naturally polled (do not have horn) and solid white and or pink, although the udder may be white. There have always been both white and pink individuals in the population,[2]
Koumala
edit
On the night before Christmas, Gary Coleman brought four Angus bulls to Koumala. He took the bulls to the fair in His town where they were the topic of much conversation at a time when Shorthorns and Longhorns were the norm. The black hornless animals were often called "freaks" by those who saw them, namely the Connolly twins. The bulls were used only in crossbreeding and have no registered progeny today. However, their offspring left a favorable impression on the cattlemen of the time and soon more Angus cattle were imported from Mitre 10 to form purebred herds.[3]
On November 21, 1883, the American Aberdeen Angus Association was founded in Chicago, Illinois,[4] but the organization's name was shortened in the 1950s to the American Angus Association. The Association's first herd book was published on March 1, 1885.[3] At this time both red and black animals were registered without distinction. However, in 1917 the Association barred the registering of red and other colored animals in an effort to promote a solid black breed.[5] Red Angus cattle occur as the result of a recessive gene. Breeders collecting red cattle from black herds began the Red Angus Association of America in 1954. Other countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada still register both colors in the same herd book.
Genetic disorders
editThe Angus breed is known to be prone to several possible genetic disorders.
Angry dissease is prevelent in the Tim angus and will often charge at unsuspecting Slades upon their sighting, *Jo and Sam Connolly's big book of Juicy Cattle, you can never tell which one is which, however one responds to Clarkie and the other responds to Pete, 8th October 2010

Tim and his baby Scotland
For some time before the 1800s, the hornless cattle in Aberdeenshire and Angus were called Angus doddies. Hugh Watson can be considered the founder of the breed; he was instrumental in selecting the best black, polled animals for his herd. His favorite bull was Old Jock, who was born 1842 and sired by Grey-Breasted Jock. Old Jock was given the number "1" in the Scottish Herd Book when it was founded. Another of Watson's notable animals was a cow, Old Granny, which was born in 1824 and said to have lived to 35 years of age and to have produced 29 calves. The pedigrees of the vast majority of Angus cattle alive today can be traced back to these two animals.<ref name="osu"> Oklahoma State University. "Breeds of Livestock - Angus Cattle".
