Angus cows are the most well-known breed of beef cattle originally from Scotland. They are relatively easy to handle, resistant to harsh weather, mature quickly and produce high quality, well marbled meat. At Silvies Valley Ranch our cows go back to old genetic lines that have adapted well to eat only the natural grasses, clover and wildflowers that grow in our meadows, so we never need to supplement them with any grain or alfalfa.
