Why are black angus cows better meat than others?

Answer 1

They aren't. Your average beef steak and roasts come from steers and heifers, not cows. 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.
