[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1463132, member: 22295"] Jeanne I won't argue about whether they are the best marbling continental or not. That is just one of the reasons that I've been told for limiting the continental influence including Simmie. Another one is cost of gain. As more than one feeder have told me ADG is just part of the equation. If high ADG comes with a high input then many times it isn't as effecient as one with a lower ADG but better feed efficiency. Like you not trying to start an argument but what I've been told by those who feed cattle and what I've seen. That is why when I see big yearling weights, ect I want to know what it cost to attain those weights. The calf I kept for a bull last year weighed 1000 lbs when weaned at 8 months off his mother and was never creep fed. He comes from a program that breeds for growth, efficiency and also grade and yield on the rail. Like I said I've seen pics of the Black Simmies that I like and would of tried a few if I could of bought them. But not going the bull route because of what I've seen neighbors experience. [/QUOTE]
