Just some thoughts:
Their Angus cattle are big animals. When I get visitors, I get comments about my cows being big. In reference to frame, bone, muscle, depth, mass, etc. However, when I walk out into the Boyd pens of cattle, their Angus cattle are big.
I also did not notice any of the hatchet azz Angus that are often referenced on Cattle Today. Their cattle have a lot of pelvic size and muscle on that bone.
Overall, I thought their cattle were very nice. I think the biggest surprise for me was the ones with calves on them - they had some cows with tons of milk. As much as I worry about my Simmentals having too much milk, by comparison, I was surprised to see a few of their cows with huge udders. Not bad udders, just big udders.
