known by: Deutsches-Angus-Fleischrind,
Deutsche Angus |
Efforts to produce a new, more modern beef
breed in Germany led to the crossing of Angus bulls with German Black
Pied, German
Red Pied and German Simmental. Selection is for hornlessness, good
temperament, large size, meat with a lower fat content than pure Angus,
and high milk yields.
They are black, dark brown, red or yellow-grey,
sometimes with white markings. Females weigh 650 kg; bulls
weigh 1,100 kg.
