[QUOTE="seth, post: 458152, member: 3210"] Angus cattle have always had genes which resulted in some white on the underline. Apparently it was even more prevalent in the early years of the breed in Scotland. Some breeders believed that cows with some white were better milkers. While there may well have been some illegal infusion of other breeds into the Angus gene pool, intentionally or unintentionally, most of these would have been eliminated by blood typing or DNA testing. I doubt if the white we see today has much to do with these incidents. [/QUOTE]
