[QUOTE="BRG, post: 239598, member: 2397"] Brandonm2, I don't really agree. Maybe my herd is the exception, but I purchase alot of our customers calves and feed all of our own out too, the majority are at a frame score of 6. We have stressed performance since we began and have never chased the carcass. This past year all of our cattle averaged 74.18% choice or higher with 1 pen doing extremely poor. If we would take this 1 pen out it would have been over 80% choice or higher. The majority of the cattle were straight Red Angus, some had 1/4 continental with a handful 1/2 continental. We have never gone after carcass much until this year we made sure the herdsires we bought had the REA and IMF we were looking for. Again, I say it goes back to the genetics. We need to make sure we as seedstock producers are providing the best genetics possible. [/QUOTE]
