Yes
Agree with the fact that they have been around for a bit and they've been in bits and bobs. Angus had been something that everyone wanted a bit of in their herd until they ave come back as a commercial breed seperate from the bits and bobs market. Good beef but dont do well in most parts of Australia without a touch or two of something else.Camo6 said:"Craving meat?

Nah, doesn't have the same ring to it.
Don't know about dates and times Rowy but my old man was breeding Angus X for meat since the early nineties because it was a well established meat breed. Angus X limo produced smallish calves that put on weight quickly. Or angus X hereford was a good combination and sought good market prices. I find it laughable that suddenly Angus is advertised as the new beef alternative to regular moo cow considering this breed was introduced over 100 years ago.
The cows aren't as pretty but their willing.......seamad said:black or red angus... know a vet who runs both and reckons the reds are stupid.
The desert states are most of Australia!Camo6 said:Yeah true. Angus poll as a pure breed are a touch on the small side but cross em with any decent meat breed and they still fetch good prices. Nothing looks as good as a yard full of jet black breeders fat in calf. Talking as a former SE Gippy resident so can't speak for the desert states!
@ Seamad. Got relo's on the VIC/SA border who reckon Angus are wild compared to Hereford. You could ride any of our Angus ( no, you can't Cocko, don't waste the PM) but our herefords were as mad as cut snakes. But nothin pushes back harder than a goat on an electric fence.
And don't we victorians know it! I'd love to know where all our milks gonna come from considering the decline in vic dairy farms. In some parts of asia their dairy farms are all under roof and grain fed. But luckily we had the likes of bob brown and the greens protecting our industr... huh they did what now?Rowy said:The desert states are most of Australia!

I can't even work out what it is you're trying to say (with the possible exception that you don't know what socialism is).Rowy said:Well Camo I'll put the flamesuit on because there are a number of greenies on this site....what you need to realise its about ideaology above practacality.....every greeny prediction since the 40's has turned out to be crap......its Socialism these days......wealth redistribution..........simple as that.......hows that temperature rise going ya greeny *****!
