[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 920712, member: 8265"] I like that idea. Of course, all else being equal, the black calves will perform worse and die more in the feedlot from heat, but that's the next guy's problem. Although from a general marketing perspective, you wouldn't think stories of dying cattle would improve beef consumption. Some consumers care about the animals. I am not hearing that there is much difference in meat quality between blacks and reds. Seems the red angus people should be really out there promoting good beef and more profits from more heat tolerance. The individual stories of temperament issues don't mean much, since, as was stated, it all depends on what is being selected for in each herd. Give me not too many generations of hard culling and I could turn a herd of angus into a dairy. [/QUOTE]
