After 1975, the breed went towards a Dual Purpose strategy in Europe, and an upgrading percentage era in North America. This is referred to as the Modern era. The lines are listed as per the Textbooks of Germany & Austria; only the B Benz & H Horex lines have been altered by Bar 5. “B” Burgl into Bison & Bayer gong back to the 1943 Benz origin, and H into two distinct lines of 1. the Austrian H Hero line & the 2. German H Honig line.

“Beef Fleckvieh” were bred in Germany and Austria between 1940 to 1975. The Fleckvieh breed was established in Germany in 1940 as a Beef strain of the dual purpose “Simmentaler Fleckvieh” bred up with these dual purpose cattle of Switzerland & the native ‘Yuri” German cattle during the 1910’s, 1920’s & 1930’s.

          FLECKVIEH – “FF “ 100% Beef Fleckvieh Lines via United Kingdom
The two most important lines of Fleckvieh origin, came into North America via the United Kingdom.
 
"Angus" Bull Lines
   AR Red Angus
1. The origin of Red Angus lines are the First “RED” recorded from two Black parents from the American Angus Assoc. AAA; most originate from the “Pedigree Lookup” section on the website of the Red Angus Association of America; each line starts at the first Red Angus animal from two Black parents in the line. RA# indicates the RAAA reg number of the line starter.
2. Canadian “Reds” are entered into the same Herdbook as the Black Angus, thus share CAA numbers with Angus cattle.
All Red Angus cattle originate 100% from Aberdeen Angus seed stock, and thus are traceable into the Reg book of the AAA.
