And there are a whole pile of breeds out there that follow the black bandwagon, including Gelbvieh, Simmental, Limousin, Charolais, Maine Anjou, etc. There are other breeds like Shorthorn, Speckle Park, White Park, Hereford, Red Poll, Simmental and Gelbvieh (and even Holstein steers!) that taste better than Angus do.
