What do most of you prefer Angus or Hereford? I am trying to decide between the two because instead of me doing a dairy beef feeder for the fair I have decided to do a Beef feeder. Well actually my GirlFriend convinced me :lol: But personally I prefer Angus they are nicer for show and look way better. (to me)

I prefer Hereford, I find them more hardy and less needy.

However, this area has an addiction to black hides, so we keep hereford cows and an angus bull. The bull is good, smaller calves that are easier on the cows but still finish nicely AND bring higher dollar at the sale for that stupid black hide.

Out of those two then it would be Hereford (old orig horned breed) mind you the old ABERDEEN Angus was a useful animal before it got bastardised

Herefords are nice and calm. For an original Hereford you'd have to go to England, were they have a small society trying to bring them back. I found them doing research and they are much smaller than I would of thought but hardy and efficient on rough grazing.
