[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 817806, member: 13182"] Aero, I am having a tough time understanding what you mean. Aren't the occurrence of double muscled bulls like Oakchurch Dictator ( [url=http://www.genusbreeding.co.uk/documents/upload/Aberdeen_Angus_Prem_Collection_April_09.pdf]http://www.genusbreeding.co.uk/document ... ril_09.pdf[/url]) a necessary evil if you want a true Terminal capability? Keep in mind this bull is in the UK but is descended from North American genetics. What about high growth and birth weight sires like Young Dale Monarch 12E? Would these be the type of terminal Angus sires you have in mind? How many bull sales can supply 10 Angus bulls with: 1. Yearling weights between 1,300 and 1,500 LB. 2. Lean and ready to go to work, no fatties and/or pushed bulls. No more than 8 LB of grower ration a day. 3. Able to calve out easily everything from a Charolais to smaller shorthorn cross cow. 4. Enough muscle to put a YG of 1 to 2 on both heifers and steers out of British breed cross cows. 5. Priced for a commercial operator (under $ 4,500 this year). The above are my requirements for a high growth terminal bull. The Limos, Simmys and Charolais have scores of bulls sales that have bulls meet these requirements. The Angus bulls I have seen have a tough time meeting point 2 if they make point 1. Filling an order for 10 such bulls would be tough for any commercial bull sale in the Angus breed. [/QUOTE]
