[QUOTE="fargus, post: 794292, member: 13480"] That's only your opinion. Stating it as unalterable truth is ridiculous. I won't speak to the performance part of the equation that far south, I'm out of my league. But I feel compelled to comment on the color genetics portion of this thread. It is true that a black Limo, Simmental or Gelbvieh received their black gene from an Angus source. (That's why you'll see those breed registries differentiate between "fullblood" and "purebred.") However, to state that they are "composites trying to pass themselves off as the real thing" is a huge overstatement. The bare minimum is 7/8, and most require 15/16 "pure" to be registered as such. Now, if you sort hard and select the progeny that encompass all of the traits you desire, at the end of the day you have a black purebred, not a composite. The wonders of genetic recombination allow that to happen. If you are claiming that the Angus breed "owns" the black gene then I guess you are buying at least one Angus gene. I don't believe that, and I get tired of hearing it. I personally don't care what color they are, they're all the same once the skin comes off. Hope you can find a bull that is going to fit your needs AshtonV, good luck. [/QUOTE]
