[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1751709, member: 42463"] The whole CA program has been about selling bulls from the beginning... and no care for the consequences. Now we have black Herefords for Christ sake because black hides mean higher prices... although red hide cattle are routinely skinned and labeled "certified BA" as they are packaged. And the lack of genetic diversity infecting the entire industry as people "acquire" black genetics in traditionally not black cattle is biting producers with birth defects and inbreeding. Artificial insemination means black bulls are produced right along with black replacement heifers. I'm surprised we haven't seen black Charolais yet. Genetic diversity is important. [/QUOTE]
