I'm sure the younger generation will vote for N. Improvement. He has done well for calving ease and sired some good heifers when mated properly. But, the influence Anchor has had ,not only on Angus but on hybrids from Sims and Maines is unmatched. I would much rather have glory in my cows than the glitz you get from Northern Improvement.

I'm in that younger generation, and I, for one, don't really care for NI. I love Anchor females, especially when mated on those good PB and 1/2 blood Simmis. They make some dandy cows.
