[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 453287, member: 2095"] In most cases, it is true. The knock on Angus 25 years ago was that they were short and dumpy little cows and lacked the post weaning growth of other breeds. Today's Angus cow is typically BIGGER than most continental breed cows and their post weaning gains are impressive by any standard. The knock on Simmentals 25 years ago is that they had spots and horns, the cows were too big, and the bulls sired too big calves that had to be pulled. Now 5 frame, solid, usually black, polled, Simmentals with much lower birth weights are common. Gelbviehs went from 1550 pound 8 frame orange cows to being the most efficient mama cows in the last round at the MARC. The breeds are ALWAYS changing. [/QUOTE]
