Amerifax

Amerifax cattle are a United States composite beef breed developed from Angus and Beef Friesian influence, with the name usually tied to black cattle selected for beef performance, maternal ability, and carcass value. Published information is limited compared with mainstream breeds, and some references describe it more as a stabilized composite or breeding program than as a widely distributed registry breed. Animals are generally discussed as polled, black beef cattle rather than as dairy Friesians.

For owners, the practical issue is source verification. A herd marketed as Amerifax should come with clear breeding history, performance data, and a plan for maintaining the composite rather than simply selling black crossbred calves under an old name. Management is similar to other beef cattle: pasture, mineral balance, calving supervision, parasite control, and enough winter feed for the local climate. The breed may interest small beef producers looking at heterosis and maternal traits, but buyers should not assume uniform type without seeing the cattle and their records.
