[QUOTE="bull56, post: 196970, member: 3329"] Frankie, You are right, the Angus Source ear tags would solve the problem, if they stayed in all the way to the packer, this would be proof positive that the beef then was really Angus influenced. While it may be true that some of the other breeds were able to get a black hair coat from the Angus, the Angus has been bred out of the black purebred? stock with the only thing left from the Angus is the black hair, maybe the hair color is the 51% Angus. The Angus Source tags are an excellent idea, the only problem in getting it implemented is that their is too much confusion about the whole animal identification program. Producers don't know what tags or program to go with. Do they choose a tag because of breed, the sale barn's tag, the feed companies tag or do they go with the company promoting a certain vaccine program. What happen's? They end up not doing any tagging at all because they feel that they would end up putting in the wrong tag and end up penalized wherever they sell their cattle. [/QUOTE]
