[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 738496, member: 7645"] I agree. I don't think there is anything wrong per se in not actually selecting FOR carcass traits or even for not really giving that weight in the selection decisions, but this is 2010. Ultrasound has been around for well over 20 years. If you are going to be serious about selling bulls, I think you need to be able to provide the ultrasound data to a buyer who asks for it (and I realize there are people who have sold bulls for forty years who have NEVER had a buyer ask for the ultrasound data). I think you kinda need to have that information yourself just to see how you are trending over time. Even if you know you are going to cross back to Angus for the carcass traits, there is still the potential for improvement of performance on the bottom side of the cross. [/QUOTE]
