Angus Underground

Passion for the Angus Cow

Episode Notes

David, Joe, and Korbin are joined once again by Vince Santini of Shady Brooks Angus. The episode first starts out talking about the “shopping cart theory” and just how much a shopping cart can teach you about the depths of a human. The group then takes questions from listeners about some of their favorite cow families, what seven cows they would like to see in a pedigree, and mitochondrial DNA and environmental harmony. At the end of the episode, Joe explains his pedigree placement and why it’s important.

Quotes:

• “Maternal is a label placed on cattle with a certain level of brilliance and how they nurture their calf, adapt to range, land, and convert forage to profitability.”
• “I don’t think there are bad cow families or good cow families. It’s understanding them and how they work, and how their pedigrees were constructed.”
• “I think some of the greatest cows are the ones that go unnoticed the longest.”
• “When we talk about mitochondrial DNA, we’re looking for those pre-potent cows.”
• “If you’re gonna learn anything on Angus Underground, you’re going to learn what not to Google.”
