[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 940507, member: 14624"] I think that we will begin to finally see a trend toward quality regardless of color. The day when US' largest grocer > Walmart < decided it was going Choice was a game changer for sure. No longer can the packers pawn off the dregs of Select on Wally World>> they raised the bar and to keep up -- so must we. The days of Limmis, Maines, Charolais, Gelbvieh, Chianina, FB Simms and Brahman influences has past as there is little market now available for that kind of beef (the consistency and flavor of a roof shingle). Out of the bull calves born in 2011, here, the best all around Performer including EPD's was Red. I like red cattle because they do better in this heat. This is not new News: Very high lean, low marbling, low milk, late puberty Charolais - very high growth Chianina - very high growth Limousin - moderate growth High lean, moderate marbling, high milk, moderate puberty Simmental - very high growth Maine Anjou - very high growth Select Gelbvieh - very high growth Brown Swiss - high growth Moderate lean, moderate marbling, high milk, early puberty South Devon - moderate growth Tarentaise - moderate growth Pinzgauer - moderate growth Moderate lean, low marbling, high milk, very late puberty, heat tolerant Brahman - high growth Sahiwal - low growth Low lean, high marbling, moderate milk, moderate puberty Angus - moderate growth Hereford - moderate growth Red Poll - low growth Devon - low growth Very high milk, high marbling, early puberty Holstein - moderate lean, high growth Jersey - low lean, low growth [/QUOTE]
