[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 609459, member: 9002"] To me the ideal feeder animal is british/exotic cross. Breed the higher yielding bull to the lower maintenance maternal animal with more marbling ability (usually) and you have a a pretty good steer. Actually the limo's will be cheaper to feed per pound of gain or per pound of meat produced. They convert more of their energy to lean meat which is more efficient than converting to fat, bone, etc. The limo steers would definitely produce more meat in their carcass so you would have more weight to sell; the limos will probably yield 65-70% the Angus maybe 59-62%???. A lot of that depends on the gentics in the Angus as well. Having said all that, I agree with the other fellow that the quality of the meat is really determined by a lot of other factors. What the original animal was has very little to do with the quality of the beef reaching the consumers plate. [/QUOTE]
