[QUOTE="seth, post: 228670, member: 3210"] I'll be blunt! I'm not a fan of New Design 1407. He has become popular largely due to his carcass genetics but my experience is that he doesn't sire nearly enough muscle as evidenced by thick tops and big butts. Most of his progeny that I have seen tend to be narrow butted. Certainly when a sire is used as much as he has been you will find some good progeny but generally I find the 1407's dissappointing. Depth of body he may have but that is where the dimension in the 1407 cattle ends. In my opinion there are several American Angus sire lines that have become popular because of carcass genetics, especially marbling, that are otherwise pretty plain cattle if not inferior. (Precision and Rockin R Ambush come to mind) Anybody else recognize this? [/QUOTE]
