[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 843371, member: 7645"] Johnes does not explain the fine bone or the little nuts. I was still doing judging contests back then and we were coached to pick the tallest, longest profiling animals we could find in a class. Limousin was a real easy breed to select for height, length, and ripped muscle expression. As someone who advocates cross breeding, I wish that Limousin had kept all the muscle and not chased fertility and doability. Likewise I wish Angus had not chased all the post weaning growth, mature bulk, and frame. Instead of maximizing their strengths and advocating a 3 way or rototerminal crossbreeding system every major American breed is chasing the purebred animal that does everything: feedlot, range, rail, meatcase, showring, etc and it means there are a lot of animals in every breed that are flawed in some way..........and sometimes those flaws are the opposite of what we would expect from that breed. The breed generalities just do not work anymore. [/QUOTE]
