Polled black cattle have been in existence in Scotland for over 1000 years; in fact nobody really knew where they came from. With in-depth research, three experienced authors have slowly pieced together not only the origins of the Aberdeen-Angus but a deep history into early agriculture, travelling through industrial revolutions, wars, economic crisis and what can only be determined as fashions, all of which played a role in the formation of the breed. It also includes the earliest importations of Aberdeen-Angus into all the world’s major beef producing countries. What has emerged is a highly detailed history of a breed of cattle that went from very humble beginnings to the greatest breed on Earth.
