[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4658"] I appreciate that the Angus association feels that they have a broad enough genetic base that they don't need to have a "breeding up" program to purebred status. But they are kidding themselves if they think they have a pure herdbook. Years ago the American Angus Association promoted that two of the big advantages to using Angus genetics was to eliminate pink eye and horns. I know of a purebred Angus herd 15 miles from here who battled a bad case of pink eye last year...how did that happen with purebred Angus genetics? I have also had commercial producers who buy registered Angus bulls make the comment that they still get some horned calves out of their registered Angus bulls. Where did these bad genetics come from? [/QUOTE]
