[QUOTE="ken, post: 920595, member: 18488"] I think the situation with Canadian Angus is a bit different than the American. Because of the narrower gene pool in red Angus here, I would say that black has more potential for quality, both in terms of carcass and behaviour. Since they are in the same registry, breeding black and red together occurs fairly frequently, often to add the quality of certain black bulls to a red herd, by breeding the genetics in and then selecting red offspring. Everyone says black baldy cows are better, but when it comes to buying, the majority still want red cows, because they breed Charolais terminal, and the feedlots traditionally don't pay top dollar for grey calves. That's starting to change though, with good silvers getting higher prices than yellows in the 2011 fall run. [/QUOTE]
