[QUOTE="paul swisher, post: 217861, member: 49"] I am glad this subject came up again. When the chart was posted I didn't agree with it but took some research time for me to get what I was looking for. Bovigen told me that they have stopped making such charts because they give a false picture of any breed. Because all animals are not tested. What the chart shows is more like a herd result rather than a breed. Although Pinzgauers are not on the list, because of limited testing(less than 100), they probably are closer to a real breed result. 4 of the original 5 bulls imported into the US have been tested plus 6 more that were Austrian imports. We have 84.4% 2 star or better. I have all Pinzgauer results not just public published ones. I laugh at Murray Grey combining the two scores to get one percentage. If you combine the two scores you must double the animals tested to get a percentage not just add the two together. As for grass fed Herefords contact Tennessee Music.. Randy has done great work with both his Herefords and Red Pols and is probably the most knowledgable grass fed rancher around. He has a link here at Cattle Today Home page. [/QUOTE]
