[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1469924, member: 14585"] I reject the premise that Every breed crosses well with Angus. It depends on your objective and end goal. Cheese production: Angus does not cross well or improve cheese production in Jerseys. Milk volume production: does not cross well with Holsteins. Rodeo cattle: does not improve roping cattle or bucking bulls. Uniform meat production for mass production of above average quality by high volume packers: BINGO Not the best carcasses, but the most good enough or better quality to satisfy packer demand. Fertility and calf survival has been the key to Angus profitability and popularity. Pounds weaned per cow exposed has been where Angus shine and if adding Angus improves another beef breeds pounds weaned per cow exposed, then you can certainly say that breed crosses well with Angus.
