[QUOTE="City Guy, post: 1368475, member: 25547"] Muddy, That is exactly what they should be used for. They can reduce frame size 2-3 points in one generation. They are a great size for home freezers and the quality of the meat is superb! Their size and temperament make them ideal for hobby and life-style farms. As far as more meat per acre, the association has figures to back up that claim, but I don't remember seeing any independent studies. Guess I can extrapolate with some hypotheticals. Oh yeah---that no genetic defects thing--Pretty sure that is true, just like Angus used to be in the good old days. I think mainline Angus now have 15 possible genetic defects to dodge when selective breeding. Think how that shrinks the mating possibilities!! Old_man_emu made some good points, however there were other importation after the original 85 from Canada in 1929. Bulls from USA, Scotland and Australia were added until 1963. The herd was closed in 1964. [/QUOTE]
