beef cattle
Angus or Hereford
Beef cattle are breeds of cattle raised primarily for meat production rather than dairy.
Common beef breeds include Angus, Hereford, and Charolais, selected over generations for traits like muscle mass, marbling, and feed efficiency.
The term distinguishes these animals from dairy cattle, which are bred for milk production.
The ranch runs about 500 head of beef cattle on open range.
