[QUOTE="waihou, post: 799101, member: 6511"] Good to get some US input OK Jeanne! Your animals have plenty of muscle where it counts :D I know the old photos I posted were mostly of animals that wouldn't really suit todays market, but they were the only ones we could find to illustrate the original type. They were either very short and muscley, or tall and late maturing. WE had a CP Minuteman cow that was a looney-head always up looking for an escape route. We heard that was a trait of CP Minute man stock too! The Genestar testing hoopla seems to have gone by the board recently. Now they have found more genes relating to it they appear to be less reliable indicators? Have you any thoughts on this? Here in NZ I believe the trend is to a much more moderate animal that fattens well on grass alone. Well at least here it is because there is virtually no grain feeding for market, either for home consumption or export beef. Just one Angus feed lot producing beef for export to Japan. Also good to hear that the grading up system is still possible over there, perhaps Sizmic's heifers are worth registering-do you have an inspection system for registering animals? [/QUOTE]
