[QUOTE="andybob, post: 1752486, member: 2703"] The Aberdeen Angus has been showcased since the beginning of the breed in Scotland, with famous stories about the founders showing Queen Victoria the herd - by walking the same quality animals in a circle around the barn and back to where the queen was sitting to give the impression of there being a greater number of Angus. Most Aberdeen Angus were marketed as "Scotch beef" fed on high levels of Barley from weaning until slaughter at 2 years, producing a very highly marbled beef for the top markets in the UK and Europe, my grandfather sold Scotch beef and Galloway from the moors from before WW1 to 1965. Top levels of marketing and quality controldate back to the breed pioneers and are still a part of breed protocols in all countries which have Aberdeen Angus in their national herds, but they are still at their best in temperate climates and are not suited to excessive heat as purebred.
