Red Angus Origin. The breed of Red Angus originally began in Europe, and was introduced to England and Scotland during raids. However, in Europe at this time, there was need for a heavier cow to be used for pulling draughts. English Longhorns, a large breed of cattle and red in colour were brought in and bred with the black polled breeds native to Scotland. This resulted in the red colouration of the Aberdeen Angus. After the union of England and Scotland in 1707 a higher demand in beef cattle arose for farmers. In 1795, in the midst of the French Revolution the beef and grain prices went up higher still.

Orpington chicken The Orpington is a breed of chicken named after the town of Orpington, Kent, in south-east England. It was bred for superior egg laying while retaining meat quality. Its large size and soft appearance together with its rich colour and gentle contours give it an attractive appearance, and as such it is grown more often as a show bird rather than a utility breed. Hens often become broody and are good mothers. Although rather heavy, Orpingtons are able to fly small distances but rarely do so.
