Shelf space/pack size, processing costs, them not having to pay for the real costs of animal size, at a guess or three?

Your on the road to no where producing them short fat cattle, they will eat the the same as a moderate beast but return so much less .
How did you come to that conclusion?
When they’re on poor quality forage the ability to eat a lot is a good thing anyway, they need a lot more of it to get by on. And if they eat the same amount but actually manage to maintain condition and get back in calf year in year out they’re already outperforming these bigger beasts. Trust me I’ve tried a bigger bull, he’d even won a number of rosettes! Doesn’t count for anything when they’re out at 1700ft and it’s howling wind and rain most of the year.

The same sort of land that bull above works n lives on . Little dumpy old fashioned cattle are no more hardy than a moderate size beast that is wanted , why produce something the market dose not particularly want ?

A terrible pic of our 13 month old bull, a son of the 25k Linton Gilbertines Elgin
)You may not be Catherine MacGregor, but you can see he’s a good bull.
Definitely more an artist than a photographer. Some of his original line drawing needs to be seen to be believed!

Says a lot about the angus society when they’re mature cow weight figure is deemed a negative if its lower!
Yip, a nonsense. It will contribute to the indexes to, but they largely need ignoring imo.Says a lot about the angus society when they’re mature cow weight figure is deemed a negative if its lower!
He’s a Dunlouise bull.
Very impressed with him so far.
No calves from him due here until March but he’s gotten all 20 of the cows he ran with in-calf over 10 weeks.
Previous owner ran him with 60 heifers and he got 58 of them in-calf
