[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1646586, member: 39347"] I have a very limited acreage, so the “idea” of straight Aberdeen Angus is great, but after comparing a FB to a halfblood steer, I prefer the added carcass of the halfblood. I direct market 4-5 per year to coworkers who typically don’t want to buy more than 1/4 carcass. I have decent pasture when it rains, hay when it stops, but have been blown away at the grass efficiency of this cow and the Aberdeen influence steers I’ve purchased. She’s a great cow, just too big for my available resources. I’d like the heterosis effect to produce a decent steer, or if I end up with a smaller frame heifer for future use, that’s fine too. this cow is out of a university commercial beef herd, and is a composite that has been super efficient on grass since we got her at 10 mo old.
