[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1592220, member: 37967"] 50 years without introducing another breed into our herd, and our cattle look and perform like they do, that should stand for actual evidence. I know that’s only 1/4 of the time period you want to use as a comparison, but that’s only my herd. The breed itself is doing quite well from what I can gather, and I think that is without outside breed influence and more than 200 years of breeding Angus to Angus. I think the “massive benefits” claimed by the pro hybrid vigor folks can definitely be disproven by actual purebred herds that are performing equally if not far better than mixed breed herds. Angus has had a long time for many of their best traits to falter due to not breeding with another breed, why hasn’t that occurred? [/QUOTE]
