Besides the fact they possess hybrid vigour due to a mix of two distinct breeds, Angus and Brahman, they are in fact not better than other breeds, be they purebred or composite. All breeds have their flaws, and traits that make one better than the other, and often the flaws certain breeds have outdo the perfections if the living conditions, environment or management are not suitable for that particular breed or for you.

Why are black angus cows better meat than others?
They aren't. Your average beef steak and roasts come from steers and heifers, not cows. And there are a whole pile of breeds out there that follow the black bandwagon, including Gelbvieh, Simmental, Limousin, Charolais, Maine Anjou, etc. There are other breeds like Shorthorn, Speckle Park, White Park, Hereford, Red Poll, Simmental and Gelbvieh (and even Holstein steers!) that taste better than Angus do. Check out the related questions below for more info.
When do young heifers go into estrus for the first time?
There are a few factors involved, care of the animal will play a part. Typically it depends on maturity of the reproductive tract, but also on body condition and genetics. Most heifers will begin their initial cycling at around 11 to 12 months, however this is not always the case with breeds that are early maturing such as Jerseys, Dexter, Gelbvieh and Galloway, which may start coming into heat around 8 to 9 months of age. Late maturing breeds such as Brahman will find heifers going into first heat at 15 months. Other late maturing breeds like Charolias, Chianina and Limousin will have heifers going into their first eat between 13 and 15 months of age. Malnourished animals or those in poor body condition will have a delayed first estrus, but overly fat heifers will also come into heat for the first time later than those that are in normal condition. Genetics also play a role in determining the start of puberty for heifers. Some breeders select for cattle within a certain breed they're raising to be more early maturing than the breed average.

What is a good breed of cattle that can be raised on just grass?
There are many good breeds that survive on primarily grass. The British breeds like Angus/Red Angus, Hereford, Red Poll, Shorthorn, South Devon and Galloway are top-notch breeds that do very well in a grass-fed operation, unlike the Continentals like Charolais, Limousin and Maine Anjou which may require more supplementation because of their growth rates. Other breeds like Texas Longhorn, Brangus, Senepol and Brahman are other breeds that do very well on grass as well. Go with the breed that you like best and will do well in your locality. You may want to find a breed that will also match your market, again depending on where you live.
What is the best cattle breed?
There are no "best" breeds. All breeds have their faults, and one thing that is better or worse than another. "Best" breeds go according to (and pretty much only) to one's entitled opinion. Best breeds go according to what one prefers over another, whether its colour, mothering ability, forage convertability, carcass qualities, size, uniqueness, or what works best for them in their area. For instance, some people think that Angus and Hereford are better than all other breeds. Other folks will think that Beefmasters are the better breeds in comparison to Angus or Charolais. The possibilities go on, and so do the opinions.
