[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 663715, member: 13"] Yes, I'm telling you that NO other breed offers all the traits that Angus offers. Tell me one that does? Not Hereford. The carcass quality and calving ease aren't there. Not most Continentals. Calving ease killed them. Salers offer calving ease, but they had other problems that kept them from being widely used. Shorthorns, Maines? Not a chance. These wonderful Angus traits didn't appear out of thin air. They were always there. Many cattlemen left them behind in the chase for bigger is better. Once they hit the wall with being too big to fit the box, calving problems, calf survival problems, they needed to rethink their programs. Angus offered it all for a cross breeding option. CAB was established when Continentals hit this country and pushed British breeds to the brink. But it took about 20 years for CAB to become successful. None of it happened overnight. I don't know what Angus traits a 1/16 Angus-Gelbvieh would show. I don't see Gelbvieh around here; at least that I know are Gelbvieh. LimFlex and Balancers are "crossbred" but a 15/16 Gelbvieh isn't? Interesting selective thinking there, Van. :lol: [/QUOTE]
