Angus Celebration
The Angus breed celebrated the arrival in 1824 by revealing a historical marker at Bothwell in the Central Highlands of Tasmania on Thursday morning, prior to the Bothwell Calf Sale.
On January 20 1824, eight black cattle, then known as Fifeshires, stumbled off the Triton onto Hobart town wharf after a perilous voyage from Scotland and then embarked on a 75km walk to “Dennistoun”.
