We had a son from him too. Looked like this bull. Very good and muscular calves we got from him. Nice bull you got.

Nice looking bull. I was at a sale that had 15 Net Worth sons this week, they definitely stand out.

Be interesting to see what he looks like a year later

What age was he in this pic? He looks just a little moderate for my liking but he is put together nicely in my opinion. If he has enough frame for your needs he should mature into a fine bull.

The Net Worths are all very consistent. Even when you see them coming from different breeders they are standouts.

Since it is black, its obviously an angus bull. Below are breed descriptions for Gelbvieh and Simmental. If other breeds became black, it would invalidate the Certified Angus Beef program, so that will never happen. Also, black cattle are less heat tolerant, and heat stress reduces profits and increases death losses, so other breeds would not want to go black in our climate. http://www.cattletoday.com/archive/2007 ... 1033.shtml

Gelbvieh:

The breed is red in color, with strong skin pigmentation, and horned. Polled cattle have developed in the United States from the use of naturally hornless foundation females. Proponents of the breed claim the breed has superior fertility, calving ease, mothering ability, and growth rate of the calves.

Simmental:

The Simmental is among the oldest and most widely distributed of all breeds of cattle in the world. Although the first herd book was established in the Swiss Canton of Berne in 1806, there is evidence of large, productive red and white cattle found much earlier in ecclesiastical and secular property records of western Switzerland. These red and white animals were highly sought because of their "rapid growth development; outstanding production of milk, butter, and cheese; and for their use as draught animals." they were known for their imposing stature and excellent dairy qualities.
As early as 1785, the Swiss Parliament limited exports because of a shortage of cattle to meet their own needs. The Swiss "Red and White Spotted Simmental Cattle Association" was formed in 1890.

Since it is black, its obviously an angus bull. Wrong. Just because the bull's black doesn't automatically make him Angus. There are plenty of breeds out there that also come in black: Gelbvieh, Simmental, Limousin, Maine Anjou, Saler and heck, even Charolais. Those sources you provided are old and outdated. If you've ever looked on any breed association site you will see that all the breeds listed also come in black and are still referred to as purebred (or fullblood). If other breeds became black, it would invalidate the Certified Angus Beef program, so that will never happen.

Also wrong!! If you ever look at the Certified Angus Beef site it clearly says:

Q: How is beef selected for the Certified Angus Beef ® brand?
A: The same independent USDA graders inspect black-hided cattle (typical of the Angus breed) and give it a grade. All beef considered for the brand must be the best Choice, or Prime, beef – truly the top of the scale. This top-quality Angus beef is then evaluated again, using the brand's set of 10 science-based specifications for marbling, size and uniformity. If it's good enough to make the cut, then it earns the distinctive Certified Angus Beef ® brand label.

http://www.certifiedangusbeef.com/brand/grades.php
NOTHING in that site says that cattle have to be 100% purebred Angus. It says typical of the Angus breed, but not OF the Angus breed. This is exactly why the breeds mentioned above are chasing this "black fad" because then they can get a slice of the pie that CAB is offering to producers.

Now I hope I didn't hijack this thread into another CAB debate again... :rtarrow: :rtarrow:
