[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1185534, member: 14661"] Why the focus on niche breeds? If you're looking for marbling you've already got it as jersey, angus and wagyu are all high marbling genetics. You could go back over that cross with any well marbled angus or red angus and be well over what most market calves do as far as marbling is concerned. If you had a problem with calves getting up and going with wagyu than you need to look on the cow side of things. Those things get up and move from day one and that's a big part of why guys around here use them on heifers. Also, if you want good service, be a a good customer. ABS doesn't deal in niche markets. They do have genetics that will fit most situations but don't be real surprised if you find yourself without a breeder if you order a niche breed and expect your breeder to come put it in for you. A big part of his pay is the semen sale, especially on deals where he's only breeding a few head. [/QUOTE]
