[QUOTE="dcara, post: 520344, member: 473"] I run and feedout RA's, and recently started adding Sim's. To paraphrase what has been said thus far: 1) The only difference between BA and RA is the skin color gene 2) Taste of the meat depends on numerous management factors Additional info: a) The RA association referes to RA as "The Business Breed" since they established early on numerous economically relavent EPDs. To this day their EPD analysis continues to grow. b) When I first started a little over 7 years ago I ran blacks and reds to see if there was a difference in meat quality or other factors. The only difference I could identify was that in my location during the summer months the blacks spent a lot more time standing in the ponds or shade while the reds would still be grazing. Hence the reds seemed to gain slightly better during the summer months. But what seems to sell best at the area sale barns are blacks with a little ear such as Brangus. [/QUOTE]
