[QUOTE="ALACOWMAN, post: 792256, member: 2047"] We raise both xbreeds and reg Angus. Although I am not "entirely sold" on the above article, I have to admit that the xbreeds we have on our farm have never grown as well as the reg Angus....(huge doesn't necessarily grow fastest) at least not until they are at least 3/4 blood. Also, the higher the % Angus the better the carcass quality. CAB is not restricted to pure Angus due to the "low" numbers that qualify for that status. If breeders keep up with carcass and not overdue the growth then someday only Angus would be CAB. There's too much money involved for Angus to "go away". That said, We are planning to AI a few 3/4 angus to Hereford . Can't wait to get them ultrasounded when yearling. Valerie Our vet has a small feedlot and states that the cattle only need to grow to 1200lbs by 15 months of age. He states most cattle can not do this![u] Low quality...maybe[/[/u]quote] doubt it [/QUOTE]
