[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 239629, member: 2095"] You must be doing SOMETHING right because everybody else is claiming that Percent Choice is slipping and as Mike and others like to point out....percent Angus in the herd has NEVER been higher. According to the March Angus Bulletin, Choice is ~50% of the total herd and getting a group of steers to 76% Choice or better is good enough to get you your own article (see pg 15). If you are doing 80% Choice and above, don't change a thing because that is waaayy up for across the board numbers (not just a penload of carcass contest calves). I don't know conclusively if increasing carcass weights and decreasing slaughter age is related to decreasing quality grades or NOT. I am just throwing out an across the industry theory that ("I" think) makes some sense given the facts we know. [/QUOTE]
