[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1309935, member: 24565"] Good info and apparently a lot of folks like the same thing for a reason. No disrespect, I am not so interested in the AAA breed average because I do not have cattle from TX to CA, from OR to FL and from OH to NY. I am interested in functional cattle for our little world and our given environment and for local friends and neighbors. Probably 99% of cattle here go to a livestock auction. Those are the type commodity cattle that I need to grow and they need to grow. Nothing hidden: our cattle are selected heavily for maternal traits of most profit from grass as compared to selection for terminal traits. Never the less, they fit the FS and type that order buyers are looking for. There is plenty of data out there about genetic correlations and I believe that the practice to prove dependable science wrong will become an unpleasant self-fulfilling prophesy if anyone single trait selects cattle or any species to prove otherwise. Thanks. A list of well respected bulls for many. [/QUOTE]
