[QUOTE="amazed, post: 20067, member: 169"] I am an Angus breeder as well. I don't disagree that when eating out North Americans prefer a well marbled product. How many of those same consumers would buy the same piece of meat out of the supermarket display? We are all enjoying the success of the Atkins diet but what will the next trend be? It won't be back to the "shoe leather" steak days but will the ideal be? What I have a problem with is believing one breed can do everything and that marbling should be the main focus. Angus is a terrific breed of cattle that does a lot of things very well but to use only Angus in a commercial herd is to deny the benefits of heterosis. Frankie I am glad you wrote that marbling isn't everything as I agree. One Angus bull sale catalouge put it this way last year, "Carcass traits are important but don't ruin a cowherd chasing them".
