[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6197"] I know that the buzzword in the industry today is "black". But the truth of the matter is that if you are running high quality cattle through the market you will be paid accordingly, whether they are black, red, white, smoky, etc. (with exception of paints). No one on this planet can prove to me that straightbred angus calves will outperform and outprofit a solid three-way cross breeding program for the commercial producer. Start thinking about breeds that will balance each other out in growth, milk, mature size, carcass traits, and hybrid vigor. If you keep your heifers, throw that in as well. Also make sure they fit your environment. If you have to go angus based black, try to use a crossbred cow such as a Beefmaster E6 and breed to high EPD angus bulls. The hybrid vigor would be outstanding, you would still have black and majority polled. Don't sell yourself short breeding purebred commercial cattle.
