[QUOTE="skcatlman, post: 345395, member: 5562"] I would not say guts are a trait rather a part of structure. As far as only needing them for breeding? Cattle need guts to comsume alot of feed to turn that feed to growth and muscle and fat. Tight gutted cattle are poor does they do not feed efficiently or gain well. Muscle is like anything it all has to be in balance. Too much muscle and you lose fertility ie) double muscled cattle. If you want your cattle to be efficient producers in the commercial setting you need them to have guts, capacity and volume. Personally i think it is all a balancing act that good producers figure out. Focusing on specifics like the showring does wrecks breeds because people chase traits that are not of economic importance. Just look how breeds have wrecked them selves looking for a specific color for example. [/QUOTE]
