[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 661092, member: 440"] I used to raise registered Beefmasters. I really like the old Beefmasters but I think they've already lost their identity when they allowed black animals into the registry. The three breeds that make up Beefmaster does not have black in their genes: Shorthorn, Hereford and Brahman. How is it that now they have black, polled animals registered as Beefmasters? I was at a registered Longhorn sale last summer in Oklahoma and was talking to a breeder who has a large herd of registered beefmasters as well as Texas Longhorns. I mentioned the black thing to him and he told me that it had finally come out that the president of the association had introduced black into Beefmasters by saying that this was some old Brahman genetics in the make up that came out black but when all was said and done he finally admitted to using a Brangus to make them black. Of course by then people were going gaga over the black ones so it was nothing more than a slap on the wrist to him and black stayed in the breed. Anyone else aware of this? This is what I was told and it makes sense. Nothing against black or Brangus but diluting the breed is diluting the breed.... [/QUOTE]
