[QUOTE="novatech, post: 738487, member: 5494"] For the people like me that don't have that skill. [url=http://www.hereford.org/static/files/ss_s10_Carcass.pdf]http://www.hereford.org/static/files/ss_s10_Carcass.pdf[/url] Although I am a firm believer in cross breeding for the best terminal, the use of this type of information in your breeding program can assure you that you may never need to use a black bull in the future. When you use the best selection from both sides of cross breeding you can not help but get better beef. Choosing cattle based strictly on color, horns scurs,or polls, in my opinion is secondary to the final goal of raising beef. These are simply convenience or marketing traits and should not be ones primary concern. In some research I have found that less than 10% of all pure Angus qualifies for CAB (Feel free to correct me.) This brings up the question. What is the #1 cross that qualifies for CAB and why? In another thread it was stated that Hereford has a golden opportunity to take back some market share. I believe this is true. But it cannot be done unless information like the link I posted above is used. If all Hereford breeders continue doing business as usual Hereford will not go forward it will actually slide backward. Nothing stands still. [/QUOTE]
