[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 569756, member: 87"] For medium framed Angus and Angus crosses, I our experience has been when you get over 1200 you are just adding unecessary external fat which is waste. We aim for 1150 lb and still sometimes have too much fat. We try to go by wt to some extent, but also what the signs of fat are on the live animal - fat in brisket area, and on the tail head. We also do ultrasound a couple months before slaughter. Billy [/QUOTE]
