[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 96104, member: 13"] ROTFLMAO! I’ve sat in sale facilities this year watching auctioneers offer to cut out the black baldies because they were hurting the price of the solid black calves! You can “tend to think” whatever you want. But when you get a chance to actually set in the seats at a sale barn, I think you’ll find good black cattle outsell other good cattle and sorry black cattle outsell other sorry cattle. You mentioned the CAB program because you want to bash Angus. You don’t come out here and offer facts and links to research, you just come out and bash Angus and CAB. I find that unacceptable. Well, if I had something to sell we could work a deal because my Angus cattle haven’t been crossed with anything. Again, you just want to bash Angus, without offering any proof or alternative. Manure. You’re making the claim; you provide the proof. See. More Angus bashing. Do you think anyone will take your posts seriously? Every bovine eats until their first stomach is full; then ruminates until they pass that feed into the second stomach. Then they graze again. It doesn’t matter a hill of beans whether they’re standing the pond, laying under a tree or in the sun. What matters is that they maintain their body condition so they are able to breed back and raise a calf every year. When it’s a hundred degrees around here, yes, some of my Angus go in the water. So, also, do cattle of several other colors. We had one Angus cow that it didn’t matter if it was 60 degrees or 90 degrees, first thing every morning after her calf was taken care of, she went into the water for her morning swim. She’s gone now, but I see her daughter has the same tendency. You don’t want to read facts and studies. You want to bash Angus. Do you honestly think that well over half the beef producers in the US are using Angus bulls because the wool has been pulled over their eyes? It’s amazing to me how some people can fool themselves.
