[QUOTE="dph, post: 125556, member: 2112"] We raise commercial angus cattle and have for 90 some years. My father's biggest gripe about Angus today is that since the breed has become so popular, there is no shortage of Angus bulls that should be Angus steers. Everybody and their brother seems to be selling Angus bulls. Which maybe should be expected with cattle prices are this high. Additionally, because prices are high, I do think a lot of producers have gotten away from efficient cattle. People aren't culling as hard because they want to keep as many as they can because almost any of them will turn them a $. If the market begins to head back down, then I would think one would see a big change in quality at the market's bottom. You will have lost the guys in it for a quick buck, and you will have gotten rid of a lot of cattle that aren't turning a profit. One last thing, a lot of guys buying Angus bulls today are interested in one thing only, calving ease. And, in my opinion, there are a lot of other traits suffering for it. [/QUOTE]
