Yes and no. This all depends on personal preference, objectives with either breeds, management philosophies, environment, climate, etc. Limousin is a good breed as a terminal cross for RA's, for producing calves that all go to the meat market. Limmis are good to have if you have abundant forage and/or are able to supplement with grain or some other concentrate ration. I find most Limousins to be high-strung even if bred to be docile, whereas Reds are more docile. Reds are better if you have a range-type environment and topography, as they are better forage converters than Limmis, or wish to do a grass-only operation. These cattle are a maternal breed, which contain cattle that are fit for producing replacement stock, but are slightly less desirable for the meat market than the larger Continentals like Limousins. However RA's have as good quality meat as Angus, as well as good calving ease, milking ability, small calf weights, and often have good cow sizes for managing on a grass-only operation.

∙ 14y agoAngus beef has more marbling whereas the Limmi beef is more leaner. As far as quality is concerned, it depends on what the consumer prefers. Limmi beef may be preferred over the Angus beef because of the leanness, but the Angus beef may be preferred because it is tenderer and more juicy hence the marbling.

What does the Angus cattle offer or contribute to the cattle industry?
Angus cattle are primarily known for their ability to have great carcass quality and ability to cross with other beef breeds to obtain even better carcass traits. Cows are great for easy keeping on just grass and hay, as well as good milking ability, mothering ability, calving ease, raising growthy calves, and good overall reproductive ability. Calves that are raised for beef have good marbling and muscling ability. This British breed however is susceptible to early maturing, and as a result can gain fat quicker and easier than the Continentals. Hence crossing Angus with continentals like Gelbvieh or Simmental yeilds good lean carcass with just enough marbling to make the cuts not too fatty. Marketing by the American Angus Association has created a product known as Certified Angus Beef or CAB. It is because of this successful marketing that the Angus breed has become much more popular in America than any other breed that is also raised in this country. It is also because of this breed that other breeders are able to infuse Angus genetics into their breeds and create black cattle. More about this is covered in the related questions below.
Can a black angus be a purebred with a white face?
NO! Black Angus can ONLY be ALL black in order to be deemed purebred. Also, an animal that is deemed to be Black Angus MUST have DNA tests done on the animal, the sire and the dam to prove that it is indeed purebred and not a composite. The animal you are talking about is a composite breed, which is a result from crossing Hereford with Angus, or even crossing Angus with a Hereford-Angus F1 cross.
