BLACK HEREFORD VS ANGUS HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPARISON
We purchased these two sets of yearling steers in the Spring of 2022. They were turned out on grass at our Flint Hills ranch. We shipped them off grass in the Fall of 2022 directly to the feedlot. They were fed in adjacent pens exactly the same rations and sold on the U.S. Premium Beef grid in February 2023. The Black Hereford steers were purchased from a customer who has been using our bulls for the last 11 years. The Angus steers were off a reputation Angus herd and were also bred alike.
