[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 773139, member: 3235"] I agree, too much backfat combined with low REA and low IMF is a bad combination when it comes to yield grades and you end up with yg 4 and 5 select cattle. Interesting that this is one of the reasons that they had the type conferences in the 1970s that ultimately led to the frame race and the trend away from Hereford cattle toward leaner larger framed exotic cattle and ultimately to Herefords being discounted in the marketplace. I fully realize the importance of maintaining fleshing ability in the cowherd, but keep everything in perspective. [/QUOTE]
