The Red Angus is an international breed of beef cattle characterised by a reddish-brown coat colour.

It derives from the Scottish Aberdeen Angus population and is identical to it in all but coat colour.

[4] The Scottish Angus is usually black, but red individuals occur; this may be the consequence of cross-breeding in the eighteenth century of the small Scottish cattle with larger English Longhorn stock, aimed at increasing their draught power.

[5] In the United States, these red individuals could until 1917 be registered in the herdbook of the American Angus Association.

[3]: 278 The Red Angus is reported to DAD-IS by Australia, Cuba, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Slovenia and the United States; its global conservation status is "not at risk".
