WHAT beef cattle?? I mean, what type of beef cattle are you referring to? Dry pregnant cows? Bred heifers? Weaned heifers? Dry open cows? Lactating cows? Mature bulls? Young, growing bulls? Weaned steers? Stocker steers/heifers? Backgrounding steers/heifers? Finisher steers? Finisher heifers? What breed are they? Are you on a grass-fed only operation or a mixed operation or an operation where you are having your cattle in a drylot 24/7/365? PLEASE be more specific, because the possibilities are endless. Oh, and what about your location? The different feeds that are available for one location is different for another. You can feed your cattle a variety of feeds from range cubes/pellets to rolled oats, cracked corn, wheat, barley, triticale, etc., or even grass, hay and/or silage (barley, oats, grass-mix, corn).
There is NO best feed to feed beef cattle, especially when you haven't defined WHAT TYPE of beef cattle you are referring to! Some operations may prefer to have their animals on grass only, with a little treat of alfalfa or range cubes to keep them friendly and to get them to move from one pasture another. Other operations are in a winter where they need to feed hay (grass only, grass-legume mix or pure legume) and/or silage, and choose to or not to feed a little grain once a day or every second day. Other operations require their cattle (NO MATTER what type) in a drylot for 24/7/365 and need to feed them a whole mix of feeds, from a grain mixture to hay and silage.
Please talk with local farmers and ranchers and visit your local county extension agent to see what your options are for the "best feeds" to feed your beef cattle.

How many tons of feed will it take to feed 50 cattle for a year?
It depends on the average size of the cattle. The amount of feed to feed cattle depend on their average weight and sex of cattle. Mature cows tend to eat more than weaned calves; young bulls eat more than steers, and steers tend to eat more than heifers. Older cattle eat more than younger cattle, and, thinner cattle eat more than fatter cattle. So with that, I cannot give you an accurate number.

There's really no Special feed to give to Angus cattle. Just feed them according to what the need, nutritionally and bodily. If you have good pasture, just throw them out on pasture. If you are wanting to fatten them up for slaughter, any kind of grain like corn, barley, soybean, etc. is good. They can also eat hay (be it grass, legume or grass-legume mix), any sort of feed that you'd give to any other breed of beef animal.

Which is better beef white face hereford or black angus?
Black Angus. BUT, the question is poorly phrased, as it requests judgment without specifying the criteria to be judged. Better for what purpose? Better tasting beef? Better breed of beef cattle? Better growing? Better disposition? Since the question is really more of a popularity poll, the best answer I can give you is: Angus are number 1 in popularity, Hereford are very popular with the 2nd largest beef cattle population in the USA after angus. Registered angus out number registered herefords by more than 4 to 1.
