[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 587944, member: 8629"] I grew up with a "rainbow herd" and back then we did just fine. Nowadays if the calves don't look like clones of each other you are docked at the market. I stick with red for two reasons: 1) I love the Red Angus temperament, even better than my Simmis and 2) I stubbornly insist that a Simmi (or Gelbvieh, Limmi, etc) should at least stay the color they have been since they became a breed. I even have blonde Simmis (shhh). I believe that someday it will be more important what is under the hide and what genetics make up the animal, not the color. I may die before that happens but I'm okay with that. People have held on to stupider beliefs than mine and died at peace with themselves. And FYI it will be (hopefully) quite a few decades before I kick off. ;-) [/QUOTE]
