[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1414974, member: 16303"] All of the Continental breeds have gone black. By them all adding in the Angus genetics, the amount of hybrid vigor is not there. There's more hybrid vigor in crossing an Angus with a Hereford, Charolais, Red Poll, or maybe even a Shorthorn. There is a difference in the Fleckvieh. While they are a dual purpose breed, there are lines of Fleckvieh that focus more toward the beef side. The Fleckvieh that we register with the Composite Dairy Cattle Registry are focused on diary production. As for the Black Hereford or any other breed that tries to build from a small group of animals or a certain group of breeders, the breed has very little chance of growing. If their is a specific breeding program that outlines how the animals are to be bred for grading up to a purebred, then that opens more opportunities for more growth of a breed and a larger gene pool to select from.
