[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 338227"] The OCC bloodlines in angus cattle are something I look for when buying angus bulls. I have never bought directly from them but I really like the looks of Anchor and he (or his get) would decrease your frame size. Angus cattle typically don't possess the most muscle out there but I breed angus bulls to hereford and hereford-angus cross cows to get replacement females, that is where they shine. As far as being concerned with the scrotal size (here we go again) if I am looking at a bull that measures 40 that is plenty big (regardless of some math derived EPD says)(I wonder where this great scrotal fixation on this board comes from?). If you want muscle go with charolais or limo. I have never used a limousin, but use Charolais as a terminal bull. I also kept a small set (12) of charolais sired heifers out of a set of high percentage angus (probably 1/8 hereford) and those smoky cows are making really good cows they have raised two good sets of Angus sired calves and have had no problem keeping their flesh and breeding back (so far). Have a GREAT day!! [/QUOTE]
