[QUOTE="farmer rich, post: 102614, member: 1952"] These are of course my own opinions and many will not share them. I dont intend any offence, but unless that black came from a natural mutation, the bull is not a charolais. Back in that animals pedigree is an angus or a holstein, or some other black breed. I still cannot understand why any breeder of pedigree cattle would mess around with the genetic integrity of his animals in order to introduce a trait that gives the animal no real commercial advantage. If you want black cattle, keep a black breed. If you want to improve your pedigree cattle you should select cattle within that breed which exell in the traits you wish to improve. There are no shortcuts, outcrossing to another breed is at best lazy and at worst, dishonest. In my opinion the way to combine the qualities of two different breeds is to cross them, but this should be labeled as a cross. I am interested to hear the thoughts of the rest of the board on this topic. [/QUOTE]
