[QUOTE="Keren, post: 800435, member: 3195"] Interesting thought Andrew, but I think its the opposite. The MG getting larger and later maturing/harder keeping is I think one of the driving forces behind the popularity the SM breed has gained. Yes you are right in some ways the SM is what the MG should be, easy keeping, perform well on grass, well muscled and easy to finish etc etc. SMs are unfortunately following the same trend, getting a bit too big and later maturing so they are starting to lose their breed chatacter, and essentially they are turning more into small MGs. It used to be that you could have a SM bull with a MG bull and be able to tell the difference not only in frame size but more importantly by maturity pattern. Unfortunately that's no longer the case, and I was sad to watch the small breeds interbreed judging at one royal show, and hear a breeder ask why there was a MG in the small breeds interbreed.
