[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1591748, member: 968"] Interesting article - that's an understatement. Dr. Hough kinda threw them under the bus. Article is not dated, but it is sometime after 2011. Real slam on the ELEPHANT ads! " and in the latest MARC Cycle VIIa data, mature Angus cow weight on a body condition score constant basis were larger than all breeds except Hereford. Bigger than all the Continental breeds including Charolais!" " The USDA Meat Animal Research Center (MARC)a shows that Angus has annually increased weaning weight, yearling weight and milk faster than any other breed, but has also increased birth weight more than any other breed except Hereford, while in general, the Continentals have decreased birth weight. Angus is still the calving ease leader, but not by the margin once enjoyed." "Pregnancy rates of Angus yearling heifers trailed Hereford, Red Angus, Charolais and Simmental while being only one percent above Limousin, with Gelbvieh bringing up the rear." It's getting late - have not read the whole article. Everyone should READ it. Pretty slick posting that one "76". [/QUOTE]
