Nothing wrong with Angus.

The problem now is the very poor quality of calves coming out of the dairy herd regardless of breed be that Angus/ Blue/ Hereford etc etc.

Far Far too many of them are like or worse than the new TFF mascot Stanley.
Exactly this.
The inspiration for my piccasso drawing didnt come out of the figments of my imagination... ...it was ingrained im my memory from what had been on our farm.
If we lost a calf we used to buy one from a dairy herd to set on.
Lims and blues could breed shape of the dairy cow but when they went onto angus we gave over bothering.

Next door to me has a load of Angus out of what looks like grass rats, there 50 9month old next to my ewes and my mules look bigger. Poor things look like they need a good feed. He runs them until 30 months and sells as stores. Was very proud last time I Spoke to him that he had £900 for them. 😮
