[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 146580, member: 245"] Okay, I'll put in my two cents. First a Black Hereford is not the same as a black baldy. A Black Hereford is not a single cross but a series of crosses crossing back to Hereford bloodlines while still maintaining the black hide color. Although the point is well taken that the primary reason for this is as a marketing tool to possibly produce black baldies off of red cows. The quality is probably not there. Although I do question what the big to do is about. Most breeds of cattle now come in black. They even have gotten a line of Black Charolais that are in huge demand. Again I guess I look at it as a tool. If I had a mixed bag of black and red commercial cows and I wanted to get them to look a bit more consistent for marketing purposes, a homozygous black, white face bull might be just the ticket for that. JMHO. [/QUOTE]
