Let me tell you something that happened last year.
First we (a group of uruguayan breeders) went to the US to visit several feedlots, AI companies, ranches, etc.
During that vist, all of us, proud meat consumers, went to a small restaurant at Dodge city, Kansas.
Well six of us asked for a ribeye.
My life as a meat consumer can be separated in two periods, before Kansas (BK) and after Kansas (AK) :lol2:
All of the six ribeye we asked were exactly identical, not an inch bigger or smaller, they were like factory ribeyes, like hamburgers but in a ribeye version
Well a couple of months later, the CEO, of a very well known AI international company visited us, obviosly we took him to a place to eat meat. Guess what, he loved argentinians and uruguayans meat !!! we couldn't believe him. We ask him how he can prefer our meats more than those juicy's ribeyes from Kansas, he told us, because these are not so tender, this meat is more "wild" and tasty...
So obviusly, human beings always prefer what they don't have, our neighbour grass is always more green than ours and his wife is prettier then ours :lol2:
Till today we still think that he was crazy and that nothing compares with those juicy's "exactly the same" Kansas ribeyes :lol2:
What I am trying to say ? that those angus work great for your feedlots, maybe here over grassy conditions there are not so many differences between angus and hereford's.
And obviously, the F1 of these breeds will always be the most efficients animals for meat producers in our grassy conditions.
