[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5926"] just think you are another Black Angus pasionate breeder, If I'm wrong just excuse me. BUT if you are just read this: Angus is a breed with far less genetic consistency than most beef breeds. The assumption that the Angus breed is still the industry standard for consistent quality grade carcass traits is more a product of promotional hype than actual independent carcass evaluations. The inconsistencies in both carcass marbling quality and back fat levels in the genetic base of the present Angus breed have been shown by the wide range of values that have emerged from the rescent generation of carcass EPD's for the breed. > Yep, now you are talking, use hide > color AND numbers.
