Angus cattle have certain genetic traits, mainly marbling ability and excellent feed conversion and these traits make producers, feeders and packers money, hence their popularity. All things change, up until the late 60's, early 70's Herefords dominated the industry in Texas and the western range country, so much so that if a pen of cattle was up for sale that were not Hereford the seller would specify that they were not Hereford, they are still the most range adapted of the major breeds in the US. Crossbreeding commercial cattle carries the same advantages as the addition of ''new blood'' in any species, Angus is the best cross on Herefords with Charolais a close second depending on what the intended use of the cattle is, Angus X Hereford produces a premier feedlot animal and that has long been the case, Charolais X Hereford produces top notch Mama cows. Angus females breed earlier and more reliably than many other breeds, getting some of those various traits in your herd improves the total. My oldest Son has mostly Hereford and uses Hereford bulls, he prefers Herefords but also has a practical reason, Hereford X Brahman females are always in high demand and bring a premium prices in our area. I use Charolais bulls on my cow herd and have a lot of Charolais influenced females in my herd but my main business is buying and trading cull and plain cows, a Charolais bull will take the horns and spots off of longhorn cross calves and the leather and ear off of Brahman cross calves way better than black bulls do, also in my area Charolais sired calves are a close second to Angus calves in price.
