[QUOTE="VanC, post: 735822, member: 3355"] Some would say that the other breeds took Angus genetics to make THEIR product better, not the other way around, and there is probably some truth to that. Personally, I think they just wanted the black hide because that's where the money is right now. Otherwise, why not just switch to Angus? I don't mean to sound cruel or unsympathetic, but complaining about it won't help. That's just the way it is, and it'll probably be that way for a good, long time. As I see it you have three choices: start raising black cattle, make the best of what you've got, or get out of the business. There are lots of people out there doing very well with non-black cattle. You mentioned Char X. I don't know where you're located or what you're doing now, but if you cross Char with Hereford or Red Angus you'll have a product that sells very well in most areas. [/QUOTE]
