[QUOTE="andybob, post: 307901, member: 2703"] I have not experienced this type of docking in other countries,breeding stock will sell according to the prefered type for a given area, but cattle intended for finishing have always been bid on according to their conformation. Brahman and their composites are very popular with finishers in Southern African states, I know of feedlot to retail companies that look for Bos Indicus influence in their purchases so as to cash in on the heterosis, Red cattle are preferred over black in these countries. In Britain, there are no red Angus, and a premium is paid for finishers which have the approved tracability proving them to have been sired by a regestered Aberdeen Angus bull. The common commercial female in England is the 'Black Hereford' an F1 Hereford/Holstien which are usually bred to the Angus. [/QUOTE]
