[QUOTE="Dyann, post: 7528, member: 30"] Frankie, Nice of you to post your Angus characteritics.. although I note a little defensiveness or something. Bill's post about Longhorns and mine and anyone else are not trying to take anything away from the Angus breed or any other breed. The fact that I sell to Angus breeders, must mean they also appreciate what the Longhorns I sell them do for them and their programs. As to polled or not, no one, including me is trying to hide the parentage of anything. I have several Longhorns that are not sold to commercial breeders and the bigger the horns and the wilder the colors are the better. However, I dont raise them just to look at... I like to make a buck too. I dont even want to hear that they are gonna tip or cut the horns off the bulls I sell.. I know they will and that is it. I also know that many commercial producers (commercial as opposed to show stock producers) prefer solid black or solid red. Fine... so I try to produce them. ALthough, I am not sure what the difference is, I have never in my life gone to a super market, looked at two steaks and said.. gosh this one came from a spotted animal. I also cant tell from looking or even tasting what was Angus and what was not. I know that the marketing of Black Angus labeling has been successful.. but quite frankly I am no more impressed with that meat, than I am the no-Angus label. If it is good, I like it.. if not .. I dont. simple as that. Anyway, thanks for your input..enjoy your Angus and I will admire my Longhorns and I bet neither one of us loses any sleep over it :D [/QUOTE]
