I was wondering why most ranches in the western states pick angus (Red or Black) bulls to use on angus cows over all other breeds?
Thanks,

Maybe because the heifers will make the best cows, and the steers will top the market I don't know. I don't live in the West, I'm just guess'n.

If someone is having trouble meeting the choice grade why would they 'select' any other breed but Angus?
Seems like more people could use their mind and truly evaluate cattle instead of doing what's popular.
