Since about the early 70's, the Angus producers have done a better job of advertising - and also genetic improvement (via Expected Progeny Differences) making it easier to select stock that suits your conditions (theoretically and statistically)
That said, angus are not the same critters I grew up around in the early 60's - DUH! Cows regularly go 1200 instead of 900, don't kick near as much, and don't try to root like a hog under a fence when tightly confined.
The new version is a pleasure t work with. Red Angus seem to have many of the same traits, and bring the same money.
My all-time favorites are black-baldy's.
