The momma of many a show steer back in the late 80s and 90s were half-blood maine cows. I was thinking back to some of the pictures many of you have put up here in past years of old Maine bulls - Power Plant, etc - that looked like poster children (or rather parents) for the some of the problems we've been fighting for years now. At the Texas A&M juding camps, they'll actually put up photos of old 90s breed champion steers as examples of structural problems.

I think you're absolutely correct Chambero. The Etulason x Cunia combination (Power Plant) may have been the primary root of the problem. Many Popular Clubby genetics go back to him. Who Made Who all the way to Heat Wave. Infusing ChixAngus genetics compounded the situation on those front ends. JMO. Both Etula and Etulason and Cunia made me suspicious when it came to structure issues. I would always see them as common denominators when it came to SP.
