[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1807490, member: 24816"] When I had registered Angus it was in the time of the NH, AM, CA, DD situations. You test for it, or years ago they close bred a sire to so many of his daughters to find out if they are clean or not. Quite frankly, it may aggravate sone Angus folks but many of us believe that several of those traits were brought in from other breeds years back during the years of the frame race and following. I’ve tried bringing in new blood to the herd through several breeds of cows using the same breed and later crosses. I’ve found that doing that has not been too advantageous. More often than not the new cows and bulls have been disappointing in a variety of ways. Not all but certainly a notable amount. I’ve been well pleased with retaining heifers and bulls. To me it lets me know what’s going on with their genetic potential and what needs to be worked on. Like [USER=22072]@cowgirl8[/USER] we have a variation in color pattern both red and black, BWF and RWF and a few brindles, but the phenotype is getting more uniform. We are now bringing in an outcross Simmental bull for sone added growth on the next generation of calves. [/QUOTE]
