[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 729916, member: 13182"] Roadhog, Their are well documented cases of red Charolais calves out of what would be considered white parents. Are these calves not still purebred? Also all certified beef programs actively encourage the use of a particular breeds bulls in a crossbreeding situation as a way to market bulls. When the Angus breed markets calves out of Angus bulls as certified Angus beef all is right with the world. The problem is that lately any black hided critter is used in the program-hurting the integrity of the program. In the instance of the red and black Charolais a demand developed for red and black bulls because they put Charolais performance in a non color diluting package. In the area these cattle were developed the Charolais breed is the established breed. Raising red and black Charolais let new breeders differentiate themselves in the market and get attention in the marketplace. Lately the market for these cattle has been saturated with average prices received at bull sales ensuring the number that will be raised in the future (particularly blacks). [/QUOTE]
