[QUOTE="farmer rich, post: 100401, member: 1952"] This probably belongs on the breed board too. I know a lot of you guys farm in a different environment to me, but my question is, why are the early maturing british breeds like angus and hereford so universally popular, considering that the majority of cattle in the US are finished in feedlot systems which favour the later maturing and higher yielding breeds like charolais, belgian blue and limousin? I figured most of you are cow-calf operators who use the british breeds to produce more moderate sized cows, but is there anybody here who rears serious numbers for feedlot operations? [/QUOTE]
