[QUOTE="Jake, post: 899317, member: 4"] I want to make a point here that I don't think is often discussed. There is a big misconception as far as the math goes on % angus genetics in many of these crosses. When you constantly select for british breed traits, namely angus traits in these continentals you are actually propogating a much higher % angus traits than what the simply math of 1/4 or 1/8 or 1/16 blood says. The fact of the matter is that you are selecting animals that posses a much higher % of the angus genes therefore you may not be truely be breeding for instance a simmi, but something taht phenotypically and genotypically is MUCH closer to angus.
