[QUOTE="Diehard40, post: 325977, member: 3410"] randiliana, Geneticly the main difference b/t red and black angus is the hair color. If i was using angus blood in my cattle i would go with the red. Just seems that Black is getting watered down. around these parts (southeast US) in a few weeks a producer can probably go 100-200 miles in any direction and find several angus sales going on. only thing i disagree with is the following statement you made. "You will never get away from red if you keep including heterozygous black animals. 50% of the time that heterozygous black animal is going to pass on the red gene, and when bred to another heterozygous black animal 50% of the offspring will be red." If you breed two hetero black animals Bb X Bb you will get 25% homozygous black, 50% hetero black and 25% red. [/QUOTE]
