The certified Angus thing is kind of a marketing ploy, if not a scam.

Angus is great beef, no doubt, but it comes in all grades from dog food to prime.  And, numerous other "beef" breeds produce similar quality, both great quality and shit.  And, and, there can be as much variation within a breed as there is between some breeds.

Big part of the equation (if not the single most important part of the equation, assuming a decent animal to begin with) is how it is feed out.  Poorly finished Angus is indistinguishable from poorly finished Hereford or Beefmaster.

Personally, I will take an F1 of any beef breed crossed with another beef breed.

We’re thinking of putting on some Brahmin cattle to our pasture.  They seem to eat scrubby stuff and don’t skinny down too much in the winter.   How do those taste?

Dairy cow fat tastes different in my opinion.
