[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1831292, member: 694"] Wrong again the Brangus and Branford's were created standardized composite to fill a need. LSU created Brangus to help cattlemen in southern climates to produce better cattle in an environment where English and Continental cattle couldn't thrive due to heat and parasites.They needed something other than longhorn. Shanghai Pierce recognized this due to parasitic problems in subtropical climates and started importing Brahman. They weren't created to try and line pockets for black hair. It was about producing more pounds of beef in harsh environments. Black Herefords were created to fool gullible cattlemen IMO. If they really brought something to the table they wouldn't be a niche breed that needed a salesman like P.T. Barnum to push them. Heck you can find more Dexters than a paper black Hereford. American Charolais are bred up from Brahman to a standard as well . This was brought on by an import embargo on them from nearly 100 years ago from hoof and mouth disease. Again ranchers saw the benefits of infusing Continental genetics into their cattle not an English to English cross that brings nothing to the table other than black hair. Nuff said. [/QUOTE]
