[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7033079, member: 348"] Are you intending to sell live or dead? If live, use a Charollais or Texel, if dead then less of an issue as long as you get a good model of whatever breed. Don’t get too excited about the Meatlinc’s grand claims on genetic progress over time. The whole breed is 3 or 4 flocks that are almost managed as one. If you compare their (admittedly impressive) progress with the top 3 or 4 flocks in Texels, Charollais or Suffolks, you will find a very similar rate of genetic gain.;) Average gain within those larger breeds are tempered somewhat by the number of breeders that only record to try to use it as a marketing tool, rather than as a breeding selection tool.
