Originating in Scotland, which breed is black or red and known for nicely marbled meat?

• A. Angus
• B. Hereford
• C. Beef Master
• D. Belgian Blue

Answer: (A)

Originating in Scotland, the breed in question is the Aberdeen Angus, often seen as black but with a red color variety as well. What makes it stand out is its high marbling—the intramuscular fat that runs through the meat—producing tender, flavorful beef. While Hereford comes from England and is typically red with a white face, it isn’t defined by Scottish origin or the same level of marbling as Angus. Beef Master is a US-developed composite with Brahman influence, not tied to Scotland, and Belgian Blue is famed for heavy muscling rather than marbling. So the description points to Angus.
