[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1555720, member: 17956"] I just keep going for some reason........Any animal from almost any breed has the same opportunity to achieve the highly coveted certified Angus beef stamp. IMHO, it’s set the entire industry back, not forward. Producers chasing the stamp. Come on now. Chasing single trait selection, when the whole thing is sorted out after the animal is dead, and skint. The same producer could pursue a high choice, if they wanted to. Problem is, that wouldn’t pay now would it? Not to the cow calf man. Nothing to back up this statement, but my opinion. An Angus bull brings almost nothing to the party for a commercial cattleman. A straight Angus cow brings even less. Almost any logical cross you want to name, is going to bring more pounds to the weaning pen when fall comes. All these low birth weight angus bulls floating around the great commonwealth of Ky, might as well be low line bulls, for the size of calf they are producing at 8 months of age. [/QUOTE]
