[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 874901, member: 14624"] I too agree about Caustic's statement--- I don't know about you, but "we" are in the quality pounds beef business and NOT the quantity pounds business. But those crosses you mentioned will provide wally world and mickey D's with their Select burgers. I like Shorthorns a lot, except their birth weights, their bone and their frame is going in the wrong direction, I think, for economically efficient production goals. I would rather have SH mamas and use a Herf Sire. This cross would improve BW's fine tune MM, decrease Frame/Bone, while still producing a good carcass that will beat the "brimmer" and "char" carcasses all the way past laura's lean beef. The terminal cross Sire would be a shot in the dark--I wouldn't go with Charolais, because again you are headed off in the wrong direction for carcass quality and FS. "Brimmer" is a definate NO. I think I would go then with PB Blk Angus Sires for carcass quality because after all we are really in the quality pounds business and not the quantity pounds beef business. JS [/QUOTE]
