[QUOTE="fellersbarnoneranch, post: 66665, member: 120"] I disagree, but not entirely! Of course there are differences even within the breed, but Angus and Red Angus aren't typically the "bottom of the milk barrel" The Charolais, Chianina, and Limousin breed types tended to be high in growth rate/mature size, high in lean to fat ratio, older at puberty, and low in milk production.
