I grew up raising Herefords, mostly polled, a few with horns. I like Hereford cattle, but the market doesn't. We have Angus, and Angus-Charlois cows, all Black, and breed them to a Angus bull. If I could change anything, it would be the choice of a bull. I let my son pick and he went with Angus. I wanted a Hereford bull, for black baldy calves, as they usually sell a little better.
As far as which breed produces the best beef, I'll go with a grain fed beef breed anytime. The dairy breeds just don't have enough fat to make good beef.
