The Plato Domino 1 son that was produced from the mating at the Kansas ranch won the national championship. They linebred these cattle, not just to maintain a line, they linebred to produce the best the industry demanded. I think a fair comparison to them today would be the Remitall cattle.
Sometimes the thirst for knowledge overwhelms common curtesy of a thread creator. Once again, I took a one liner and turned it into several pages. I didn't intend to offend anyone. However, since the hijack controller, namely Greenwillow, opened the flood gates, and Knersie... I don't feel as bad now, I shall again ask a question (or 1000) off topic.....
Are you saying a show animal was what the beef industry wanted economically back then (maybe big rumps)? Likewise are you saying the economic beef industry demands Remitall show animals, maybe due to high REA and WW, etc?
