[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1782323, member: 968"] My point is - we did not USE ANGUS to become black. We got black without wanting or trying to. Simply by using what everyone did back in the early 70's - commercial cows. Some were black. We got black calves. There was nothing wrong with our original color. I did and still do LOVE the reds & white. But, black gene came with the upgrading package. When you got that black heifer calf and bred her to a r&w Simmental each year, you had a 50/50 chance of getting a 3/4 % BLACK Simmental. Then, you bred that 3/4% black Simm to another Fullblood Simmental r&w bull - and guess what? You got a BLACK PB calf half the time. There is no POLUTION in our breed just because we continued to have black calves because of our upgrading program. I am not the only PB Simmental breeder that upgraded to PB status still in business - with BLACK SIMMENTALS - and never bred to an ANGUS BULL. You are over the top concerned about Angus polluting all the breeds. Settle down. We are all right. Our cattle are not dwindling away with Angus genetics. I'm not saying there are not a lot of people using Angus bulls to create black calves. Yup, lots of that going on. But, noone is using Angus bulls to create a Simmental herd. [/QUOTE]
