[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 6734173, member: 461"] Just as an aside, the[B] Limousin [/B]is by far the UK's most popular and numerous cross simply because of its carcase characteristics. Each kilo of live weight is more valuable than that of any other cross in that it has a higher KO% and the resultant carcase has a high lean: bone ratio. The one breed or cross that exceeds it is the [B]Blonde Aquitaine [/B](another French breed), but it is so difficult to put a finish on that it is much less popular amongst feeders. There is of course, no difference between breeds or crosses in their eating quality, although I don't want to start an argument. But I do actually. I still haven't recovered from a recent ''Farmers' Country Showdown'' episode on TV. It concentrated on the [B]''North Devon'' [/B]class at a show somewhere in Cornwall. I have never seen so many small, overfat, short and dumpy individuals waddling round a show ring. And the cattle weren't much better. I blame all that clotted cream. [/QUOTE]
