I was told by a reliable source that the SH bull Rodeo Drive was bred up from Stein. True?

I doubt you would be able to find holstien in the angus at all I've been told that they bleed the same so noone will ever know for sure

Somewhere in the range of 1,800.  San Antonio is typically around 1,500.

Edit:That was 2004.  It was 2,470 steers in Houston this year.

Ive heard that the old angus bull "great northern" has some stein blood in him
The only picture I could find of Great Northern. He was a 1969 Grand Champion Angus.

i don't see any holstein.  not only that, angus were frame score 7 and over 3000 lbs in about 10 years?

there are probably more maine genetics in angus than holstein.  just a guess.  not only that, but they type very closely to angus anyway.

the continentals started arriving just as this pic was taken.  hmmmmm

I had not heard that Rodeo Drive had Holstein in him.  I was told years ago his makeup included Red Angus, Chi, he was rumored to have about everything in him and there was also the rumor that he 'changed', was physically a different animal, from one show to the next.  Sometimes there are so many rumors it can be hard to keep up.
