[QUOTE="mtnman, post: 222512, member: 836"] I agree, Jeanne. I was just telling people about this particular set of cattle. A couple purebred Simmie guys I know regularly hit 80%+ CAB with their blacks that are only a couple percent Angus. It's no secret to them, but it is to the Angus guys used to only thinking inside their own box. Lot's of them think they are onto something if they make 50% CAB, better than 2x the national acceptance rate. Little do they know many of these black Continental guys are making specs at better than 4x the national rate, consistently, they just don't brag about it. Of course, the Angus guys like to think it's that 2% Angus that makes them work. :D It is, I guess, it makes them black, but doesn't do anything for carcass quality. Maybe some of these high growth, fertile Angus are 2% Simmental. :D mtnman [/QUOTE]
