[QUOTE="Schnurrbart, post: 307469, member: 1439"] Seems to me that years ago the Angus Assoc had a great promoter/marketer who convinced the uninformed public that the only cow, and certainly the only cow worth eating, was an Angus. Now, it seems that if it is black, it is good and all other colors are not desirable. Of course, now that just about every breed in the world has a black version, who knows for sure what that black cow really is. I watched the Simmental show in Denver a few years ago on the other side of the ring and out of over 100 animals shown while I was watching, there was ONE breed colored cow and the rest were black. That is doing the purebred breeds a huge disservice in my opinion. If you think Black Angus is what the public wants, raise them but don't mess up the genetics of a pure breed to be a copy cat.
