amazed":15iizjf2 said:Dun is correct. Both Gelbvieh and Simmental can be highly maternal. In fact sometimes too much milk. These two breeds don't fit in with the comments by la4angus about scrotal size and fertility as Simmental have the highest scrotal average of all breeds.

The British breeds, Angus, Hereford, and Shorthorn have certain bloodlines within their respective breeds that are leaner, higher yielding, heavyier marbled, normally less backfat and a little larger
ribeye area, but normally not as good on its feet and legs, without
quiet the maternal qualities as some of the other bloodlines. The bulls
normally have smaller nuts, therefore not as fertile as others.Terminal means the last place to go. They should be all slaughtered; Zilch;
with none held back for replacements.
Terminal as in terminal illness.

IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOUR TERMINAL BREEDS THE ANGUS WOULD STILL BE THOSE LITTLE SHORT DUMPY ANIMALS THEY WERE 30 YEARS AGO. AS A MATTER OF FACT IF YOU WERE TO REMOVE ALL OF THE HOLSTEIN AND OTHER BREEDS BLOOD FROM THEIR PEDIGREES THEY STILL WOULD BE. FOR THE RECORD THE ANGUS HAVE SOME OF THE SMALLEST RIBEYE AREAS IN DOCUMENTED TESTS.
