[QUOTE="back2dfuture, post: 992316, member: 20027"] I think black hides were getting such a high premium due to the Angus Marketing Machine, which is great. But what I wonder if those of us that are focusing on the black hide are we behind the curve. As a newbie, over the past few years as prepared for the day I took over my family's land, I would see & read reports focusing on developing a cow that's more efficient on grass, regardless of color.. I guess what I'm asking are we looking forward enough into the future? Are we trying to develop or manage the wrong genes? Will a day come when hide color want matter? If fed,fuel & fertilizer for improved grasses are pricing the small to mid-size cattleman out the business, should we look at creating more profit by improving our herd in other ways? [/QUOTE]
