Black Cows = Black Angus

[mnmtranching]

I have never heard of black Charolais cattle?

I don't think to many cattlemen and cattle buyers are going to misstake other black cattle for Black Angus.

So what do you other old hands think? :shock:

Most black cattle have characateristics that will seperate them from Black Angus.

Sorry to start such a shirtstorm. My question was sincere, because while I didn't think that just cause a cow was black that it was a black angus, I also started reading stuff about the CAB, and alluding to any black cow being available for being a certified angus breed. So, I asked the question, out of naiviet'e.

Hey Marty,

Don't worry about anything, you started nothing. I'm sure I started it, and I did so on purpose just as light hearted fun. As stated by Doc, CAB has been thrown around a bunch in recent times, so I stirred the pot a little, or threw out some bait to see if anything would bite, some did.

For anyone else, just having fun, don't take it too personal, CHB is the same way, 51% red hide, no dairy. It is, how it is ... so be it.

no worries Carni,
it would be a shocker if you said "black" and "angus" in the same post and no shirts started flying. it nearly impossible to keep all the shirts cleaned off the fan nowadays, anyhoo.

Are all black cows Black Angus, or can other breeds also be all black? If so, what breeds?

Black Dexters have no Angus influence, Dragensberger are all black and definitely not Angus related.
