[QUOTE="AAOK, post: 299586, member: 861"] The AMAA classifies any registered calf, bull or cow, over 75% as purebred. Bulls once had to be at least 87.5%, but the percentage was changed to the same as cows. The AHA & AAA boast about being fullblood breeds, but facts show the Galloway to be the only breed "assumed" never infiltrated by crossbreeding. In the late 70s and early 80s the U.S. Hereford and Angus were losing popularity due to the increasing number of continental breeds, and BIG cattle. Enter the crossbreeding of Chianina and Simmental into the big two. The Maine-Anjou provided at least one bull, when bred to Angus, whose offspring would bloodtype fullblood Angus every time. Color doesn't really matter to me. My cattle business is just for fun. The goal is to produce great Maine-Anjou Show Heifers. The other 7.5% of the Heifer pictured is a combination of Gert, Milking Shorthorn, Chi, and Angus. She could just as easily been colored Orange and Blue. [/QUOTE]
