[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1724618, member: 968"] The research shows that BA is the highest marbling BRITISH breed (I would "assume" RA is up there also) and Simmental are the highest marbling CONTINENTAL breed, so for feedlot cattle, crossing w/ Simmental is beneficial. I would guess Charolais are the heaviest gaining?? but Charolais are very poor at marbling and low on maternal traits. You would want to use all their calves in a terminal program. If there was any chance you wanted crossbred COWS, SimAngus are the ultimate. Make SimAngus cows and cross with Charolais - money making cross for terminal offspring. [/QUOTE]
