[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 125509, member: 13"] Something else. Whether you're selling at the sale barn or the feedlot, the acceptability of Angus sired calves is unmatched by any other breed. Right or wrong, good black calves will generally outsell good other colored calves and sorry black calves will generally outsell other sorry calves. More and more buyers are looking for source identified Angus calves. The AnguSource tag is becoming widely recognized in the industry. I would bet that more Angus bulls are performance tested every year for average daily gain than any other breed, maybe all other breeds combined. Feed efficiency is a heritable trait and using a bull that gained efficiently will help lower the cost of feeding your cattle. CAB licensed feedlots are looking for Angus sired calves. IMO, the American Angus Association has created the most reliable EPDs in the industry. By using those you can pick bulls that are more likely to work with your cattle to produce the kind of calves that will work for you, whether you're selling at weaning, yearling, retaining ownership, replacement heifers...whatever. There are several branded beef programs that want Angus cattle, CAB, Premium Gold Angus, are the first two that come to mind. The packers have also created some branded programs that prefer Angus genetics. Just a few things off the top of my head..... [/QUOTE]
