[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4537"] aren't you curious? I'd really like to know why the fact that Angus breeders have increased ribeye to be comparable with Continentals, without degrading marbling would cause someone to NOT use Angus. I can understand if they had a system in place that worked, those facts would not make them start using Angus. But why would it turn someone away? Guess I'm not going to get my curosity satisfied though. > lets not get into a pissing > contest. In some management and > marketing systems systems each has > a place.
