[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 454384, member: 13"] I'm an Angus breeder, so take it for what it's worth, but I don't think either of those two breeds will replace Angus, at least in my lifetime. I don't think Red Angus has enough animals to get a "snowball" effect. They have a good, strong breed association that works hard to promote the breed and they're getting more popular, but I think it will be a very long time before they have the numbers to compete with Angus. Herefords may have the numbers, but the breed seems to be in very bad shape. The years of infighting between horned and polled breeders has taken its toll. The expense of AI-ing in the breed makes it more difficult to use the "top" sires. And from just my own, limited, personal experience, a "top sire" is often equated with the show ring. [/QUOTE]
