We've been breeding Angus cattle here since 1945. Our successes include many prize-winners and bulls sold to stud. My latest success was breeding the Male Champion and Reserve Supreme Champion at the Royal Highland Show , Scotland just gone. Your successes and experience would be?
I would guess a state in the usa would be bigger than your area so my successes in less than 10 yrs breeding angus would be similar to yours. i probably know more about ramblin fever than you and you more about the dunlouise cattle than i. i will pm you a website.
Give me your herd prefix so I can google some of your successes and see some pics of your stock. Below are two pics of Mr Edition. The first is of him as a yearling before he left, and the second is of him at the Highland. We have a full brother born this year who looks even better, and a paternal brother who is probably the best calf to-date.

So you are Mike or Martin?
1999? I am not the sharpest crayon in the box but it 1945.....1999? When you say "WE" I am assuming you mean your family not just you?
does it matter?
Maybe it was under a different membership name?
Maybe they were not members- most people do not see much advantage in being members.
Why does it matter?NOte what "HE" said....
"Give me your herd prefix so I can google some of your successes and see some pics of your stock". Well, I did what he said, I googled "his" stock. If you re-read his post about how much "HE" has done, its interesting his name does not appear on any of the animals he professes many times of "breeding". A year or so ago he was telling us that if shorthorns weren't frame score 8 they weren't worth anything.
It all sounds like BS...................... not pun intended.
different parts of the world- different people have different ideals? Did you read my findings of the frame score to rate of gain, feed efficiency, and consumer demand-- according to that-- the bigger the frame score- the more ideal the animal-- especially in a self feeding ration. In the USA, matter of fact, we are the only people who promote a small 'fleshy' product- no where else in the world likes the dinky cattle that we prefer. I find that interesting- especially since we export all of our 'good' beef- and import the 'average' crap from S America.
Although I might agree with you on calling him out- I'm sure he has a logistical reason for stating his opinion, and has an even better reason behind why he said it. Who am i to question it, although it is my nature. I don't see where this bull was produced or bred by them, it appears as if he was an embroyo or something- as it looked like the dam was a Candian cow-- but maybe C stood for something else.
