[QUOTE="BC, post: 1543312, member: 67"] First off, Welcome!. Angus have been promoted for carcass quality. Red Angus would be another to consider. For that matter any beef breed can provide a good eating experience if it has the right genetics. First off, don't buy in that the meat you purchase at the store is full of medicine. Feeders only give it when needed, antibiotics are an expense and you don't spend money unless you are trying to save an animal that got sick. The animal had to recover and then fatten before it is slaughtered so this should not be a concern. As far as how long to feed, most cattle are sent to a feed yard weighing 700 to 900 lbs and then fed 135 to 150 days. They should weigh 1300 to 1400 lbs at slaughter. [/QUOTE]
