[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1381301, member: 21715"] Marketable animal means what? Something that fools an order buyer? If you want a marketable animal for the "I love black cattle" crowd, I think someone would be well served to get a F1 cow as unrelated as reasonably possible to the black breed of your choosing that you want to use for your terminal sires. Or, maybe a cow that is a first generation of a three way cross. Think ... for a black calf ... to have cow that is 1/4 continental, 1/4 african, 1/2 Indian ... and bred to a nice Angus bull ... you'd get polled black calves out of hardy, maternal mamas. [/QUOTE]
