[QUOTE="Anguscattle, post: 919887, member: 18475"] Houston, If you took the time to read ALL of my posts, you wouldve read that I acknowledge the fact that other influences have been snuck into the angus breed. I never claimed that the angus breed has stayed 100% pure all the way through. What I did say was that angus at least requires that the cattle be 100% on paper. Unlike a lot of other breeds. Im not bashing other breeds for incorporating other genetics into their breed, im just saying that if you have a simi cow (100%) and breed her to a 100% angus, then you cant convince me that its a 100% simi! Thats what is happening! Its nothing more than a commercial cow at that point in my opinion. And also, if you pay much attention to the angus breed, you will find that as a whole we are trying to get away from that "added frame". Angus cattle did suddenly increase in size, and that was the standard for a pretty good while. But in the past ohhh 5-8 years the focus has been on getting back to the more moderate framed cattle. But I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. Let me make this clear, AGAIN, I dont think angus are perfect, and i do believe there are a lot of other quality breeds out there. My issue is, when your papers say 50% angus, dont call it a simi. If you can sneak angus into your simis unnoticed, call it a simi! At least that way it isnt obvious that you arent simi for the whole world to see! But honestly, i really dont give a crap what other breeds are doing. As long as angus are at the top, ill stick with them. If another breed takes that position, ill consider converting. To each his own. And angusdave, that couldnt have been better said. At the end of the day all that matters is what we deliver to consumers. No matter what breed it is etc. [/QUOTE]
