[QUOTE="LFF, post: 554312, member: 1147"] P230 adds something to his calves that is extremely hard to find in the Hereford breed. That is a very high amount of marbling. If weight and muscling is all the customer wanted then I would be raising Charlois, Simmental, or Limomsine (spelling). It has been talked about lately that US producers could not compete with South America and Argentenia cattle producers in the pounds market, and if that is true we need to focus on the quality market. Cooler climate is better for depositing marbling. I'm am not advocationg single trait selection but with a cow that has the qualities that rocketts appears to have P230 can be a great choice. I am speaking from some degree of experience because I used P230 on some of my cows. One bull calf at 365 days of age measured a 15 sq. in. ribeye , which is a good size for the Hereford breed.
