[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 310357, member: 2095"] Part of it COULD be that there are just so many more Angus out there. A popular Angus bowl can achieve high accuracy FASTER than can a similarly accepted Hereford or CHar so the people who won't use a bull until there is 90% accuracy for weaning wt. are looking at a much younger Angus bull than with other breeds. A really popular bull like a Pine Drive Big Sky or a Lovana or a Scothcap or EXT or New Design 878 puts a lot of progeny out there fairly quickly. Everybody who was paying attention has already used or at least seen those bull's progeny. People either got on board the train and have that bull in the pedigree of a bunch of their cows or elected NOT to. A Hereford is typically DEAD before he has a thousand daughters in the computer. An ANgus on the other hand, if he is promoted hard by ABS or Select Sires, can have a 1000 daughters in 3 or 4 years. [/QUOTE]
