There used to be alot more Herefords around back in the 70s, then the European breeds came in pretty strong like the Limousine, Charloise, Simmetal. The packers make more money on the larger carcass that those breeds produce. We are starting to see now an increase in Angus again because there are alot of branded beef programs willing to pay a premium for cattle that will grade better. On the average the European breeds don't grade as high as the British breeds. I was told by my packer that Herefords tend to get a lot more fat as compared to lean than Angus. I think the Angus people ended up being a lot more progressive with the geneitc improvement over the years than the Hereford people. But there is still a huge demand for Hereford Bulls to put on Angus cows.
