[QUOTE="VanC, post: 258243, member: 3355"] Here's how I see it. As you said, not every Angus bull is going to be lbw. If the seller told your friend it was, and your friend lost 2 cows and 8 calves, then it's possible the breeder is less than honest. If your friend simply bought an Angus bull and assumed it was low BW, then he is at fault. That's what EPD's and pedigree information are for. If a breeder can't or won't provide these to the buyer, the buyer should shop somewhere else. As for the color thing, ANY homozygous black bull will produce black or gray, depending on what it's bred to. And no, just because it homozygous doesn't mean its going to be expensive. Lots of homozygous blacks out there of various quality in different breeds. [/QUOTE]
