[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 61368, member: 13"] Maybe the "original" black Simmentals. Now you're getting riled up, Jeanne. Are you telling me those moderate framed, soid black bulls being offered by the major semen companys [b]today[/b] don't have Angus genetics? All the Simmental breeders I've talked to (and there aren't many around here) are using Angus bulls on their yellow (or red) and white, horned, cattle. That's the truth. LOL! That figure seems pretty high to me, considering almost every Continental breed has black cattle these days. But you don't have anything to back that up, do you? There are producers who have paid attention to genetics, feed their own cattle, and are meeting the CAB specs at much higher percentages than you quote. As the AnguSource ear tag gets more use, we'll start identifying more genetics and management programs to meet the CAB specs more efficiently. There's a ton of money spent every year to process black animals that don't meet the specs. It's in the producer and packer's interests to come up with other ways to identify cattle that will meet CAB specs other than just the black hide, no dairy and minimal Brahman influence criteria. I think it will happen. [/QUOTE]
