THE HISTORY OF RED ANGUS
n the mid-1940s, a small group of breeders started collecting and breeding red Angus cattle in
order to implement the then new technology of scientific breeding through performance testing.
IThe Forbes’ was the first and largest, and George Chiga was also a leading thought leader. They
used the red cattle because they were purebred cattle that had been barred from the black Angus
registry in 1918, and as such had known strengths and weaknesses.
The Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) was formed
in 1954 as a bold experiment to select cattle based on objective
measures instead of the fads that ruled the show ring, which at
that time was represented in the belt buckle era. The number of
firsts in the founding of the Association were many, including the
requirement of weaning weights for registration, open AI, collection
of yearling weights, adjustment of weights, and no nurse cows.
Waldo Forbes, the first president of the RAAA summarized the
objectives of the Association: “The policy of the Association is to

comparisons within herds of factors of known economic importance
Four founders and known heritability. By making this an integral part of the registration
system, Red Angus breeders feel that even faster progress can be
made toward the ultimate goal of more efficient beef production.”
This is not to say the Association was opposed to showing cattle
as a form of promoting the breed. In 1956, the RAAA held its first
National Performance Show in Fort Worth. Also implemented at the
show was ultrasound to measure fat thickness to check for “over
fit” cattle, which was such a problem in the belt buckle era. The
placings were arrived at by a combination of objective performance
measures and subjective scoring. Red Angus continues this tradition

The focus of the Association from the beginning was servicing
commercial producers and the embrace of crossbreeding. Associate
memberships were offered to commercial producers right from the
start “to foster a closer working relationship and communication
between the segments of the industry.” This focus of the RAAA
continues to this day.
Another thrust by many of the founders of the Association was
“Angus for the Americas” as red was the common sense, heat
tolerant color for North, Central and South America. This dream
Roy Beeby would be realized in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Red Angus
became the undisputed leader in export semen sales primarily to
South America.
This objective and commercial focus early on attracted some of

THE HISTORY OF RED ANGUS
This balanced approach paid off with Red Angus commercial females currently being the hottest
thing on the market.
Starting in the mid-1990s, RAAA entered another age of growth and popularity that is still
enjoyed today. Red Angus was the common sense answer coming out of the frame race that
had negatively affected other breeds. Also, then RAAA executive Bob Hough hired many key
personnel, outstanding leadership was supplied by the membership,
and the association would work closely with Colorado State University
for key genetic breakthroughs. The list of accomplishments is long
and impressive. In 1995 alone Total Herd Reporting (THR) was
implemented; the first reproduction EPD was released in Stayability;
the commercial marketing program was implemented; the Feeder
Calf Certification Program became the first USDA Processed Beckton Red Angus
Certified Program making Red Angus qualified for Angus branded The Foundation Herd of the
beef programs; and RAAA negotiated the first value based grid with Red Angus Breed
a major packer.
Other accomplishments quickly followed starting with the Junior TKP BODACIOUS 693
program quickly becoming revitalized. In 1996, RAAA released its three-time Red Angus
first carcass EPDs and would later become the first association to champion at Denver
combine carcass and ultrasound into a single EPD. In 2003, the goal
of objectively describing reproduction was completed when RAAA
released the industry’s first reproduction sire summary, and in 2004,
the industry’s first Maintenance EPD was released. This completed
the goal of covering the basic areas of ERTs of reproduction, growth,
carcass and maintenance.
Leachman Abigrace
In 2005, a group of breeders got together to organize a junior
Red Angus as Champion,
show during the summer since the national junior Red Angus show
2003 Fort Worth Stock Show
was held generally during the winter in conjunction with the Red
Angus national show. They formed the North American Junior Red Red Angus commercial cow
Event outside the association to conduct a nationwide show as well with SimAngus calf
satellite leadership events. This show has quickly grown becoming
a substantial and well attended event.
At the end of Hough’s tenure in 2007, the breed had grown from the
twelfth largest breed to the fourth. Comstock would succeed Hough
and fulfill a long sought after goal of forming a strategic partnership
with other breeds. In 2010, this resulted in the American Simmental
Association and RAAA’s formation of International Genetic Solutions,
which now produces across-breed EPDs on the same base for the Mission Statement bred by
majority of this nation’s breeds. This means there is now a common Larry Crossant
EPD language for twelve breeds and more animals are added to this Beckton bull
database every year than any other analysis.
The success of Red Angus seedstock breeders’ commercial
customers has always been a primary driver of the Association in both
genetics and services. This was verified in a 2015 Journal of Animal
Science research article confirmed that Red Angus outsold all other
breeds at video auctions. Between IGS and Red Angus’ THR program,
Red Angus has the most precise and reliable EPDs in the industry. Red
Angus has a new, universally respected CEO with Tom Brink joining the
Association. The future is big and bright for the Red breed!

Red Six Mile Signature 295B has garnered more attention than any other bull calf from the Six Mile program since Sakic was at the
side of his dam. The young bull is from an ET female from the foundation Selma 384F cow family that is in place in the Six Mile herd. The
maternal grandsire, Red Six Mile Unleashed 595U, in turn, is now deceased and was the Junior Champion Yearling Bull at the prestigious
2009 World Angus Forum. Furthermore, Red Selma of Six Mile 358X has an average weaning weight index of 111. Her first calf, a heifer,
was purchased by John Nelson of Oklahoma. Her second calf sold for 10,000 to a large commercial program in Saskatchewan. Red Six
Mile Grand Slam 130Z. his sire, was the 21,000 selection of Semex in the 2013 Six Mile Bull Sale. This first calf crop is phenomenal and
this calf is the first progeny to sell from the young breeding sire.
Red Six Mile Signature 295B is one of the great Red Angus bulls to emerge in some time. He is an overpowering presence at all shows
so far. He is an impressive combination of the best phenotype and genotype available in the industry today. He has a powerful look that
personifies his brilliant breeding from his dominant and proven ancestors.
He is rich in rarefied blood that courses through the veins of the most exceptional Red Angus individuals in the breed. His future is
predetermined by the contribution of both his sire and dam to this unique and explosive herd bull.
This deep, red breeding bull is destined to carry the Red Angus breed to a new and meaningful position within the beef cattle industry.

This is unique opportunity to purchase this tremendous son of the highly sought-after Peek-A-Boo cow. Peek-A-Boo is one of the
most talented and top-achieving females in the SLGN program. As a heifer, she was named champion or reserve champion female at
the National Western Stock Show, North American International Livestock Expo, Fort Worth Stock Show and Houston Livestock Show &
Rodeo. More importantly, she has consistently out-produced herself with her cookie-cutter females that always stand out in the pasture.
We have sold 15 daughters over seven years and they have averaged $26,000. Majority of those females have gone on to become
donors for other operations. The quality and uniformity of her progeny, both bulls and females, are amazing. SLGN Yardmaster 125Y his
sire, was the $55,000 sale topper in the 2012 Cattlemen’s Bull Sale. His first calf crop were sale toppers across the United States and are
now in production and proving to be an impressive combination of the most desirable phenotype and genotype in the industry. Bojangles
is powerful from end-to-end and stands on a sound foot and has great substance of bone. He presents himself with a very long smooth-
made front third, then explodes with dimension from his shoulders back. He certainly does not lack in muscle with his great width down
his top and through his hip. He has great extension from his pins to his twist and when he sets into motion is as free and easy as they
come. SLGN Bojangles 479B is a remarkable breeding bull for any progressive breeding program.
