[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1782161, member: 40072"] Nothing stays the same including the Tide of Opinion. I would guess CT Today to be the big kid on the block when it comes to cattle forums and general conversation.. It goes without saying there is a divergence of opinion on most topic with politics and cattle genetics ([I]color especially)[/I] being at the top in intensity. [Marie will have her thumb on this in the morning!] It is only natural for one to more or less editorialize a particular point of view. One of those tides of opinion you are seeing across the industry is the influx of Corriente influence in the smaller herds at the national level. If you doubt the veracity of my words go back on CT Today 5 or 10 years and see how often Corrientes are brought up and compare it to today. I have no intentions of contributing to the tumult of the why or why not at this juncture.... Another opinion tide, if you will, is the blackening of our national beef herd which will in the long run be detrimental to the health of the industry. The more the lack of logic for such a move is revealed to the consuming public the more venomous the attacks will become from those who have their fortunes invested in the farce. The whole undeniable premise that black hair on a cow makes the meat taste better and thus worth more because of that black hair defines the undeniable lack of logic of the movement. That more and more consumers are becoming aware of this will become undeniable as our cattle numbers shrink and the availability of product decreases in the market. Once this occurs it will catch the attention of the various legislative bodies or heaven forbid the large grocery chains. No doubt there will be those who will come on here with pious testimony, charts, video's and cursing to convince us that Black Cattle are as the holy grail to the industry. I shall leave you with just one thought or question. Are your black cattle so much better than any other color that you would have your best black (by your own standards) undergo a taste and identification of hair color from that taste on national television? That in a nutshell is what is being sold to us and the whole world is watching the circus. [/QUOTE]
