[QUOTE="VanC, post: 464791, member: 3355"] That is a wise thing to do. If your talking about which breed, it's obviously Angus. They, as a breed, are in high demand because of obvious positive traits such as mothering ability, carcass traits, milking ability, etc. But there are other breeds that can do those things equally as well. If your talking about beef, then that is also Angus. Angus beef is in high demand, not because it's better, but because the AAA has convinced the public that it's better through an excellent marketing campaign. Convincing someone that a product is better doesn't particularly make the product better. If you use Angus because it makes you more money, that's great. Many, many people do, and I don't blame them. If you think Angus beef is better, fine, but I've seen no proof anywhere that the beef is better than that of some other breeds. I think Angus beef is good, but I also know I can get just as good a product from other breeds, especially the english breeds. The problem for those breeds, as far as market share goes, is that they haven't marketed their product as well as Angus has. Now after all that, you still haven't answered the question I asked last night: I'll ask it a third time. Why, if you think Hereford beef is inferior to Angus, do you use Hereford genetics? Why not just raise straight Angus. Wouldn't that produce a better, more profitable product in your eyes? [/QUOTE]
