[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1092754, member: 14661"] This situation is mass confuseing to me! The very idea to color everything black and call them something else or pretend they are something else is almost a joke. Like the so called black hereford when how many people knew them as black-- baldies. Like when quarter horse's became popular and someone dreamed up the Model Quarter Assc. Helluva money maker for someone but did'nt ever make those good old saddle horses any better except there was a paper involved.[/quote] And the joke is on them. The big selling point(at least here where I'm at) of hereford these days is heterosis on black cows. Polled herefords already show somewhat less heterosis than horned bulls do, so what is adding Angus blood going to do? Even if you get a premium for all of them being black it's a wash once you factor in the loss of heterosis as the calves won't grow as well. [/QUOTE]
