[QUOTE="KMacGinley, post: 874933, member: 3175"] Well, since angus and herefords regularly beat Simmental, and other continentals at the test stations, and I have personally seen the performance of RN Reeds shorthorns, I really don't think that the old thinking about performance of british cattle is relevant today. I would not personally use anything from ABS or select sires, mainline performance/carcass type breeding as there is too much performance there. Most performance bred British cattle blow most everything else out of the water if that is what you are looking for. As for most Shorthorns, they are pretty much crossed up with some continental breed or the other. Instant heterosis. [/QUOTE]
