Angus has managed to create a brand image, and selling a brand is important in marketing. If you feed and finish a pen of cattle, say a Hereford, an Angus, a Limousine and a Charolais all the same age, and basic condition, you will most likely find that they don’t achieve the desired finish at the same amount of days in feed, even though they all ate together at the same trough.
