[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6412"] WOW, over 600 pounds! Impressive! Am I supposed to be impressed? You guessed it, doesn't mean a damn thing to me. I am impressed with people who are actually profitable rather than those who believe that high weaning weights are directly correlated to profit. With your interpretation about "production" equating weaning weight, I have to admit I was wrong about your breeding program. Black to black will never get your "production" up to where you want it. Word to the wise, as you seem to believe that weaning weight means production, I would be careful who I was trying to impress with 600 pound weaning weights, especially when it seems you are achieving that "tremendous milestone" with bull calves. Hint, many other breeds with real performance would not be too happy about only 600 pound weaning weights. They would feel their "production" was way down. Pick up a Fleckvieh semen catalog some time. As far as your ability to parrot Angus BS, the AAA should be proud. At least if you are going to make such statements, make them RIGHT. Please review your notes. U.S. Beef consumption fluctuates depending upon the amounts of beef produced and imported minus exports. What you are trying to imply is that BEEF DEMAND is somehow related to a change in the genetic makeup of the U.S. Beef production herd. As you may guess, I do not believe your statement for one instant, but actual cause and effect are probably difficult to prove one way or the other, so just hang in there and keep spouting BLACK BS. In reality, as the percentage of Angus genetics has increased in the national herd......over a period of the past 20 years or so, consumer demand for beef was going down. It has only been in the past 2 years that actual consumer beef demand has increased. As far as the genetic makeup of my cattle herd, you would have absolutely no comprehension of my genetic program, so you will just have to guess, no doubt that you will be wrong. > Where I went to school 25 percent > of 600 was 150.
