[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 222034, member: 968"] Not all continentals need 1/4-1/2 Angus to grade CAB. Cornell just harvested one of my 2/05 PB Macho sons (feedlot program) and he went Ch + YG 1 to CAB, 879# HCW, 17.7 REA, 0.3 BF. Now, he had black hide which meant there was SOME Angus somewhere along the line - but probably like 5%. I cannot for the life of me think any breed has that much influence on a trait, that 5% would change the carcass data of a particular breed. Angus is a great breed and Simm X Angus are great cattle and they compliment each other for many traits, but Simm CAN stand alone in grading carcasses - especially the new modern moderate framed steers. Many moons ago, our daughter always raised a homegrown spotted red steer, or grey, or whatever her cow would have produced (purebred Simm) and show in 4-H. Many went Prime, YG 1, which would win the carcass contest (after having won [or close to it] in the live contest). [/QUOTE]
