This same topic came up here a few weeks ago - and I'l give the same answer. I believe it's due to big food chain marketing.
I think it was burger king that started promoting their "black angus burger". After that - the american consumer started to believe "black angus" was something special - the gold standard of beef - I mean it MUST be if burger king says so...
I've seen a few blind taste tests where hereford comes out ahead - but - even though that supports what I'm saying, it's really hard to compare to beef cows without knowing how they were raised.
People start demanding black angus - demand goes up - prices go up - and the beef guys fill the void. I really think it's as easy as that.
So to say black angus is "more profitable" isn't the full picture. It's more profitable while it's in demand.
Who knows, mcdonald's might come out with a "genuine hereford" burger and turn the tides. But honestly "black angus" just SOUNDS beefier to the unknowning.
Point is - it's not as simple as which animal produces more or tasts better. Supply and demand are huge factors.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
