[QUOTE="R.N.Reed, post: 487003, member: 7458"] Yes I agree on the avg.the higher quality cattle do not gain as well as the higher percentage continentals although there are lines in several breeds that do it consistently.The real art then becomes to keep the cow size at an optimum production level otherwise you loose what is made on the other end. I think right now for the most part the only way to gather the premium on your quality high gaining cattle is to retain ownership. I agree that the best program for commercial beef production is a crossbred cow bred to a terminal bull preferably a linebred bull.One thought though, the terminal bull may need to be an english bull depending on how much continental is in the cow herd mix [/QUOTE]
