[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1559443, member: 25884"] Thanks for the info. I always thought that the "angus" that we have, were really "aberdeen angus" and that the lowlines were an Australian developement of Angus. Like the shorthorn breed when it went from just shorthorn, as a dual purpose animal, to shorthorns and milking shorthorns; as the two diverged in purpose. Seems like the angus that originally came from scotland were "aberdeen angus" . I was not aware that there was a new designation. So if I am reading this right, the "real original " aberdeen angus are not really what anyone is breeding anymore. The lowlines are smaller than what the original angus were, and the "american angus" is bigger than what the original angus were in many cases. And this whole thing of the american angus only being black is just dumb. Even the Holstein assoc has come to realize that the red & whites are as good as the black and whites. The red & white and black & white herd books are now combined, and the holstein assoc registers them all as holsteins. Maybe the angus breeders will come to their senses here. All other angus breed assocs in other country's accept both colors. [/QUOTE]
