[QUOTE="Angus In Texas, post: 346340, member: 5611"] I definitely agree that angus cattle have gotten away from what has got them to where they are today and this bull adresses a lot of those issues but the biggest question I have is do any of ya'll think that there is one thing in particular about this bull that will allow him to stand out from the crowd when compared to many other bulls who are phenotypically sound with similar EPD's. The biggest reason angus cattle have taken such a phenotypic dive in recent years in my opinion is because everyone is looking for something that stands out above the crowd so that they are able to market the bull better. In other words make more money without worrying about the consequences down the road. The biggest ribeye, highest IMF, heaviest weaning and yearling weights are all things that sell. They most often are not the best choices for sires but when someone only has data on paper to make their decision with its hard not to go with the bull that will give you the best chance at having an outlier yourself. To sum it up I feel like the commercial cowman has to start demanding a better product from the Angus producers. If they continue to pay good money for what is produced then nothing will be accomplished. [/QUOTE]
