[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 20636"] Now there's an intelligent, fact-filled response. Ok, listen up guys. The angus breeders on this board are starting to sound like the longhorn breeders used to sound. While angus cattle are a good breed and have their purpose in the industry, they are not the end-all solution to everything. I will not dispute the fact that angus are known for their marbling ability but the fact remains that other breeds can marble and grade prime as well. I also believe as you do that marbling equates taste but it does not necessarily equate tenderness. As we have seen, others will disagree about what tastes good which brings me to my main point. Not everyone wants to purchase prime beef. Some people (myself not included) prefer the lean cuts because of taste. Others prefer not to buy prime or CAB because of the price which brings me to another point. You sound as if everyone should raise purebred angus cattle. If everyone did (and they all qualified for CAB), the supply would exceed the demand which would bring down the prices which would then hurt your bottom line. Why not be satisfied that others don't agree with you and be happy with your premiums? Also, when talking about purebred cattle, the only reason anyone should be raising purebred cattle should be for seedstock. So please stop the "angus is best" response to every post because while angus may be best for you they're not best for everyone and if they were, they might not be for you any more. [/QUOTE]
