Aberdeen Angus cattle are a separate breed that is known for producing excellent grass fed beef. They are about 60% the size of a standard Angus breed with a long body through the rib section.

Ideal carcass size is smaller and more convenient for the home freezer or locker. Cuts are smaller, yet very flavorful and lean. Research in Australia has revealed that Aberdeens have 5% more marbling than other breeders, 30% larger ribeye per 100lbs. of body weight and half the backfat of traditional Angus cattle
