[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 134522, member: 1604"] docgraybull, I found the article while surfing the net and have no opinion on whether the statements in it can be substantiated or not. I don't even have a clue of who wrote it. There were no credits given. On your question about "guaranteeing", I think it is well documented that heterosis will in fact produce more lbs. of beef than straight-bred cattle and for you to question the validity by comparing the weaning weights and yearling weights of registered "up-and-coming" bulls to commercial cattle is like comparing apples to oranges. Marc data shows that breeding continentals to british breeds (or vice-versa) produces the most nearly "perfect" calf for the beef industry. I think this article is merely a re-iteration for those that don't get it. Google the article "Gone Flabby" (in BEEF magazine). The BQA (Beef Quality Audit) will somewhat clarify the above authors' stance and opinions. [/QUOTE]
