[QUOTE="jnowack, post: 345747, member: 3954"] So which part of that do you disagree with? There are good Angus cattle out there. There are some that are gain very well and there are some that are very lean. You can find individuals in any breed that are much better or much worse than the average. Bull tests have their place, but they never have been nor will they ever be an accurate representation of the average genetics of each breed involved in the test, or by any means an unbiased comparison of breeds. It is cattle from a small group of producers from a small geographic area with limited genetic sample of the breeds represented. The facts remain that the [b]average[/b] straight angus is fatter and lighter muscled and therefore less feed efficient than the [b]average[/b] continental or continental cross. It is [b]scientific fact[/b] that it takes more energy (feed) to produce fat than it does to produce muscle. [/QUOTE]
