This news article from the
American Angus Association
illustrates the kind of think
ing which is going on in rela
tion to nearly all the beef
cattle bieeds today
Specifically, cattle breed
eis are looking for big-fram
ed animals which will put on
meat in a hurry—at the late
of thiee to foui pounds a
day Such fast growing ani
mals are more profitable,
they use feed moie efficient
ly, and they allow lor a fast
er tui novel and theiefoie
moie piofit
The question for bieedeis
and growers is how to get
these fast-growing, high-pi o
fit animals
Caieful breeding, based on
accurate lecoids, and good
management can do the job,
the Angus Association points
out m this aiticle
seen on this Tour the need foi
a little moie size, fiame and
growthiness in Angus cattle,”
he pointed out
“The question is how do we
get this change I think we can
and will do it through the use
of both something old and
something new We have seen
on this Tour how selective
bieedmg and propei use of
pedigrees can bung about high
producing cow lines and fami
lies We have seen the need for
good judgment in selecting and
breeding beef cattle, and we
certainly have seen the need foi
production lecords So we must
use all these methods to ac
complish the necessai v
change”
“The Challenge,” Totusek
emphasized, “is not 311 st to
make the changes, but to ac
complish change intelligently
and to guide it coueetly using
all the old and new tools we
can mustei ”
