Houston Carcass Results

[Freddy]

You don't think 1680 has a resemblance to a holstein , one other thing I had been told is that the AM had been carried by the holstein for quite a few years, does anyone know anything about that . 

 

[olsun]

I was told by a reliable source that the SH bull Rodeo Drive was bred up from Stein. True?

 

[advocate]

I doubt you would be able to find holstien in the angus at all I've been told that they bleed the same so noone will ever know for sure

Ive heard that the old angus bull "great northern" has some stein blood in him

 

[Freddy]

Great Northern  was what they called him , I remember is offspring weren't real nice to handle, but that was proably the start of the new Angus , some of his females weren't to bad ..........

Just midwest curiousity here, but about how many head of steers show at Houston?

 

[JSchroeder]

Somewhere in the range of 1,800.  San Antonio is typically around 1,500.

Edit:That was 2004.  It was 2,470 steers in Houston this year.

The only picture I could find of Great Northern. He was a 1969 Grand Champion Angus.

i don't see any holstein.  not only that, angus were frame score 7 and over 3000 lbs in about 10 years?

there are probably more maine genetics in angus than holstein.  just a guess.  not only that, but they type very closely to angus anyway.

the continentals started arriving just as this pic was taken.  hmmmmm

What about Holstein havinhorns and so does maine ETC... But holstein have had the AM for quite a few years an all of a sudden Angus acquire this ...  Also if Angus blood typed that close to Angus ,or they couldn't tell for sure, which breed would you use if you wanted to .............

I had not heard that Rodeo Drive had Holstein in him.  I was told years ago his makeup included Red Angus, Chi, he was rumored to have about everything in him and there was also the rumor that he 'changed', was physically a different animal, from one show to the next.  Sometimes there are so many rumors it can be hard to keep up.
