The quality varies.  You want a young steer that has been fed in a pen for a couple of months.  If they are out grazing they use their muscles walking around a lot more and the meat is tougher. 

You can get the hamburger super lean, and the roasts always cook up fine.  As I have said the steaks are not quite as good after being frozen, but they are still pretty good if prepared properly.

You need to be feeding a family to eat up half a beef in a year, but it can be really really cheap. Also you can be sure it is not shot up with steroids or antibiotics.
