Why so much emphasis on the rump?

[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1539699, member: 16303"] I like to see animals that are deep in the flank, = more BEEF! So many of today's bulls lack and show no depth in the flank or width or rump. As far as "black" cattle being better is a misnomer, they just have a better marketing program is all. Once the hid is off and the meat is in the grocery store you can't tell the difference. I read an article that said that when the size of the carcass increased because cattle are being fed a little longer it resulted in a better carcass grade because. Angus may want to take credit for increasing carcass grades, but it simply is not the case. The article went on to say that 2 other breeds, Hereford and Fleckvieh could have just as much influence on carcass quality as Angus. But everyone has bought into the 'black" hide and other colors are being overlooked because of it. Also read that dairy beef contributes almost 23% to the beef consumed. Dairy beef has a 15% higher incidence of prime/choice carcasses and it estimated that 30 - 40% of USDA Prime in from dairy beef! [/QUOTE]
