The Red Angus breed originated in Europe and was introduced to England and Scotland by the Vikings/Norsemen raiding the coasts of England and Scotland.

They brought with them a small, dun-colored hornless cattle which interbred with native black horned Celtic cattle of inland Scotland. A naturally polled black breed was produced, which roughly corresponded to the black Aberdeen Angus of today, although it was a considerably smaller-bodied animal.

Our red Angus herd kicked off at Talooby roughly 30 years ago!

It has come a long way over the years, with a red bull actually topping the 2021 Spring sale price. We have high hopes for the future of our reds as they become a more and more popular choice among beef producers.

Don’t discount the red – Red Angus can drive your profit potential with a combination of calving ease, maternal excellence and carcase qualities!

“Talooby Reds are the true Golden red as were the foundation cows here and at Wallah Stud in the 1950’s. The reds also have superb disposition and a natural match for the many red breeds.
