Black Angus Cattle

Cattle breeds carry their fat in two ways: in a thick outer layer (comparable to ducks) or marbled (in tiny specks and strips) throughout their meat. Black Angus is a marbled beef and is preferable to layered fat beef because marbled fat melts as it cooks, making the finished beef/steak moist, flavorful, and tender. 

Originally from Scotland, Black Angus are bred to flourish in medium to cooler climates and aren’t very tolerant of high temperatures. Because of this Black Angus raised in areas where temperatures stay lower, like Minnesota, rather than hotter climates like many lower US beef states, produce higher quality beef.
