[QUOTE="BRG, post: 212560, member: 2397"] It is tough to have a breed to do it all, but I would have to say that the breed I am involved in can do it as well or better than any other. Red Angus. But they better be good, because they can get to frail made if you don't use the right genetics. You need to keep enough bone and muscle in the cattle to do it. Red Angus has the maternal needed to get it done in the pasture and bring in the required weaning weights with little input. It has the performance to get it done on feed, and ussually kill at the 1200 to 1300lbs weights that is needed to "fit in the box" They ussually have a 63% yield and grade choice or better. They have all of this with the calving ease needed and vigor at birth to get up and suck. The feedlots love them and commercial men are paying a premium for the females, at least in the Dakotas. They may not be as tough as a Herf, or have the performance as a Char. But all in all, I think they do it all in one package better than the rest. [/QUOTE]
