Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society

About

The Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society was founded in 1879 to collect and verify the pedigree records of the Aberdeen-Angus breed and publish 'The Aberdeen-Angus Herd Book'. While the integrity of the herd book is at its core, the charity’s purpose has evolved over time to carry out a range of functions to protect and further the breed and it’s reach, whilst serving its members. The Youth Development Programme holds particular importance, providing educational opportunities whilst fostering enthusiasm for the breed & cattle husbandry, to assist in developing the next generation of stockpersons to serve the UK industry. The Society holds certification marks for Aberdeen-Angus beef and actively contributes to the good governance of the UK cattle industry. Through publications, events, social media and continued support of members’ interests, it promotes the Aberdeen Angus breed in whatever form, whilst highlighting & promoting its significant cultural heritage in the UK & worldwide.
