Stop buying at the big box store and buy from the little butcher shop around the corner. They'll probably have what you are looking for and more.

What is it that you like about angus more than another breed of cow?

[Geraldsh]

You have to give them credit for their excellent marketing campaign.

Agreed - the breed is touted as having better marbling throughout the meat, but a well fed and raised cow with an inferior pedigree may be indiscernible. I've never been able to tell the difference.

I have, however, noted a slight difference between grass fed VS grain fed/finished beef as the grass fed has a different taste to me for sure.

Aging also presents a very obvious difference in taste as well.

And, dry aging versus wet aging furthermore but to a lesser extent.

Breed ...... not so much (at least with me) - I don't taste anything different.

I am genuinely curious if even a beef connoisseur could tell the difference between Angus vs a regular beef cow.

In my opinion angus beef is much tastier than regular beef.

There are no butchers around the corner here.

Good farm / ranch raised beef is very good, Simmental, Herford, Angus, I can't tell the difference, I love pastured beef finished on grain, just put another 1/2 in the deep freeze 6 weeks ago, hung and aged for 18 days then cut and vacuum packed, absolutely great meat and about 1/2 the price of that store bought stuff.
The beef that I can say I can tell apart is speckle park or other Australian beef, don't like it at all. Anyway good luck in your search.

Certified Angus Beef is nothing more than a marketing ploy. It's probably the best marketing campaign ever created. Even an Angus breeder will say the same thing. Its all in how they're finished as to what makes a great tasting cut. I was involved in the 4h carcass animal program for quite a few years. The top quality animals were of all breeds, not just Angus! Another thing to keep in mind is that to be classified as certified Angus, they are not only purebred angus. They only need to be crossbred. Therefore they are most likely just about any breed.

Exactly. I said the same in the other thread.

No one could tell the difference between most beef breeds if they were all the same age, fed the same and finished on the same feed and hung the same amount of time.

Marketing obviously works

Which is better, red or black angus? I think black is more tender
