[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1463334, member: 22295"] Single trait selection has had negative effects on several breeds. In the effort to attain low BW's many have lost muscling and growth. The same can be said about those who have selected for carcass traits. Many breeders using AI sires have experienced structural soundness issues. Those who run cattle in rough country that require a cow to travel notice these issues more. Angus aren't the only breed with issues. There are certain bloodlines and breeders who still breed straight bred Angus that have muscling, growth and good carcass traits. Another trait that many breeds have lost is longtivity. Certain Hereford and Angus bloodlines still have it.and why we are focusing on that cross. [/QUOTE]
