[QUOTE="Elder Statesman, post: 499323, member: 7371"] In the case of King Ten and a lot of the Mark Donald cattle from 30 and 40 years ago, they got caught in the race for FRAME trap of the late 70's and 80's. At that time, most of the so called "progressive" breeders didn't think 5 frame cattle were good enough, regardless of their growth or carcass performance. So those bloodlines got shoved to the shadows except by the guys who were more interested in raising beef instead of getting ribbons. So they didn't get used a lot. Thats what happens when breeders and associations get more concerned over the "chrome" and don't pay attention to the "drive train". Politics sometimes played a role as well. Now that efficiency and carcass quality are getting some publicity, some folks are coming back to those bloodlines. I'm not wanting a whole herd of genetics from 40/50 years ago, but a shot of it sure is going to work out nicely. [/QUOTE]
