[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 53628, member: 13"] :stop: :stop: Well, as an Angus breeder (real Angus, the black kind), I have to disagree with most other posters that seem to think there's no difference in the two Angus breeds. True, they were derived from the same genetic stock, many generations ago. But Angus breeders have spent the years since they refused to register red Angus improving the Angus breed. At the same time, the Red Angus people were chasing color. There are over a million records in the American Angus database to help identify cattle that will do whatever a breeder wants them to do, milk (or not), marble (or not), lots of frame (or not), etc. The Red Angus Association is working hard to catch up, but, IMO, they're not there yet.
