Some pictures of 2 year old Waygu Heifers. All forequater good fat hfrs but no rear end. Angus breeders chasing marbling keep going and your herd will look like this. 
Agree that is a good idea but Waygu are a good example of single trait selection. They offer great marbling and are fine boned but poor weight gain, feed conversion,mothering ability and milk productionknabe said:Less round steak to sell with less of a premium. Maybe we need to do more of that.
You mean Wagyu cattle haven't always looked like that? Aren't they sposed to be the best tasting - worst looking cattle in the world?Aussie said:Agree that is a good idea but Waygu are a good example of single trait selection.
