[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 620243, member: 13"] Well, Van, [b]if[/b] you ever decide to buy some cows, you certainly should research them and the breeder you're buying from. Anyone who's looking at cattle to buy from us can see all the AHIR data on the animal, probably her dam's AHIR data and maybe the granddam's. There's not a perfect cow on this place and I'd be happy to answer any questions a potential buyer asks. But my cow's individual faults don't have a lot to do with the Angus breed [b]as a whole[/b]. Too much backfat? That's not true of some lines. Lacking muscle? Some bulls will compete with the Continentals, especially since they've downsized their breeds. Disposition? Some good ones, some bad ones, just like any other breed. Fertility? Yep. Maternal? Yep. Calving ease? Yep. Quality beef? Yep. Market acceptability? Heck, yeah. What else are you looking for?
