Back in the linebred Angus thread dun said:
"I was talking to Clint Berry the commercial marketing director from the Red Angus association and he said the single biggest complaint he hears about Red Angus is feet. We haven;t had a problem with feet but we are real sticklers about foot and leg structure on the cows and whatever we market as breeders."
This is not the first time I have heard this. So, I went out and compared my Simmis to my Red Angus. Although all have very functional feet (we do not trim) as a group I liked the Simmis form better.
As a long time commercial person but novice seedstock breeder, I am asking those who know: what bulls/lines in RA throw the best feet/legs and who doesn't? I wouldn't be afraid to list the poor ones since if the problem is bad enough for our marketing director to admit it we need to work on this as breed.
