For purebred. The most popular meat animal is still the crossbreed.

It clearly states "what is the most popular meat breed in the U S. today"
Not "what is the most popular meat animal in the U S."
I expect that Angus are the most popular because they are the most unprofitable. Makes sense to me.Lngvew":l37kq3mk said:Wiseman once said; "Just cause it's popular don't mean it's profitable"
Lot's more to consider than popularity!

Wow, the Limousin breeders have come a long way now that they have developed cattle that "can produce feed so effeciently". :lol2: A cow that not only converts feed well, but produces its own feed, and does it effeciently is going to market itself. :lol:franseen":3tpsctim said:If cattle can produce feed so efficiently as the Limousin breed does they need to have the capacity to get enough feed in them.

greenwillowherefords":oue2l8c8 said:The classic and most popular cross is the Hereford/Angus, the black-baldie. For instance, at the OBI bull test, the top two gaining bulls were an Angus and a Hereford, if I recall correctly. If I don't, Frankie will be all over it. The top Hereford gained 5.99 pounds per day, and the top Angus gained well over 6 pounds per day. There were, however, significantly more Angus on test than Herefords.
