[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 53672, member: 13"] Oh? Where did I say there weren't problems in Angus cattle? And let's not forget that Red Angus came from the same stock. You can't have it both ways: either Red Angus are the same as Angus (including the flaws) or they're not. Which is it. When dwarfism shows up in Angus, the animals are publically identified and their offspring no longer registerable. How do Red Angus breeders handle it when a bad trait shows up in a bloodline? You can find an Angus bull today that will work as a terminal cross, if that's what you want. If not, select a bull with more moderate, balanced EPDs. MARC cross-breed EPDs tell us you can get Angus yearing weights comparable to today's Continental breeds, without the birthweight problems. You can get whatever frame score you're looking for in Angus. Angus EPDs are the most reliable in the industry. Don't try to tell me there aren't huge Red Angus cattle; I've seen them. As for maternal traits, there's a reason the nation's cowherd has turned black. It's because a good Angus momma cow is hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
