[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 323607, member: 13"] DOC, DOC, DOC. I attend more than Angus sales. I got to Hereford and Limousin sales, too. Those are the only two breeds around here that have regular sales, though I do see a few Salers and Charolais occasionally sell in the OBI sale. I'd never raise a purebred other than Angus, but I'm not blind to their faults. But I'm also not blind to other breed's faults. People on this board bash Angus as being responsible for the lowering of quality grade, for the supposed smaller carcasses, for virtually every thing that's a problem in the beef industry. Very few of them acknowledge that the Angus influence has helped increase the demand for beef. I remember quite well when 500 lb calves hit $1. Do you? Like 'em or not, I believe that Angus had a lot to do with the good years we've been living in. How about a discussion of some of the Continental breeds who have given up some of their growth to try to become calving ease breeds? No discussion there? I seriously doubt you've been an "Angus enuthsiast" longer than I've been alive. :roll: You NAMED Gardiner. Gardiners are one of the producers who are most closely tied to the commercial cattle business! Their work in establishing US Premium Beef has put a lot of money in producer's pockets. It's also helped identify cattle that will gain, grow and grade by tracking them through the feedlot and into the supermarket. Today we don't have to judge a bull by his looks. We have EPDs and ultrasound that show us what's under the skin. There are many Angus bulls that will produce excellent feeder cattle and probably wouldn't meet [b]your[/b] criteria for a good Angus bull. [/QUOTE]
