What are angus cows known for?
The things that are made from Angus cattle are exactly the same as what would be made from any other cattle of any other breed: hide for leather; hair for upholstery, paint brushes; the list goes on.
What is the value of the angus cow?
An Angus cow is a mature female bovine that has had at least two calves of the black polled breed that originated from Scotland. She is a part of a beef breed that was historically known (and still is known) as Aberdeen Angus. It is a beef breed that is the most popular beef breed in the United States and is also well known in other countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Uruguay, Brazil, and parts of Europe including the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
What is the carcass quality of the Black Angus?
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.

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.

Are limousin cattle good milking cattle?
Limousin cattle are a beef breed, not a dairy breed of cattle. So in other words, no not really. They have a milking ability that is matched to that of Angus, which is not nearly as good as Holstein or Jersey.
Why is black Angus considered the best cattle breed?
Marketing techniques thanks to the American Angus Association. In honest reality though, it is not the best breed, as there are hundreds of other breeds that exist that are better than Angus depending on the conditions, climate, topography, management practices etc. they are raised in. But most people believe that "Angus is best" because of its ability to gain a good quality beef carcass, has good calving ease, good milking ability, good fertility, little problems with pinkeye, prolapse, etc., can be raised on just hay and pasture, bring premium market value for the black calves (especially in the USA), etc. However, there are plenty of breeds that can match or even excel the Angus breed in any or all of these categories. For instance, Gelbviehs do just as well or better than Angus in all of the above. Brangus or Brahmans do much better in the South or in hotter environments than Angus cattle because they are built to resist the heat, insects and humid environment that Angus cattle would just melt or suffer in.
What does a longhorn steer eat?
You certainly can! Longhorns are just another beef breed just like Angus, Charolais, Simmental and Herefords are. Though they will finish at a lighter weight than Angus or Charolais beefers will, they can still be slaughtered and eaten and have just as good quality beef as the other breeds used for beef production.
