Each breed generally grades differently. So I am pretty sure each cross will grade differently.
The British breeds, such as Angus, Hereford, and Shorthorn, generally have the highest marbling in the meat. So crosses using British breeds would have more marbling. This may be another reason the Angus X Hereford (Black Baldy) is so popular.
