[QUOTE="Aero, post: 425139, member: 2076"] Dont kid yourself... this is how breeders make money in the swap. they trade until some unwitting millionaire comes along for the ride. I am not saying this is a lowline thing; it's done in every breed. I am not into meaningless arguments either; i am into explorative discussion; and btw this is research. It's not a problem with the terms you use, it's the content of your terms that i question. this is why i asked if you were saying they were useless in the feedlot. How many lowlines have been sent through the feedlot? now let's go through this one very slowly... are you saying that the average fullblood lowline is what Angus animals were 100 years ago? Do you think obvious selection for smaller animals has eliminated some of the original "pure" genes? Exactly what good are "pure Angus genetics"? Are they linebred for prepotency? Or is it just another gene pool? Other than extreme size, what does this gene pool offer that others dont? Why did they bring in American Angus in 1950? were the animals not small enough? [/QUOTE]
