[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1652589, member: 24816"] I believe Angus are victims of their own success in at least a couple ways. First other breeds used the CAB details to their advantage. It doesn’t have to be Angus to qualify for CAB. Secondly when the Angus started their meteoric rise, it was black hides that were being bred for first and quality isn’t always culled for. Now there are Angus breeders everywhere lots of good ones and lots of mediocre multipliers. As I mentioned before lost of good herds with decades of selection were lost. I also think the advent of AI breeding and EPD selection has perpetuated the spread of mediocre animals that are vastly different than the local Angus herds from decades ago. As the breeders have tried to be curve benders and do it all cattle, I feel that some good traits have been diminished. [/QUOTE]
