[QUOTE="Australian, post: 652217, member: 8793"] Fullblood and purebred are treated the same here in Australia. Fullbloods would attract a premium here and if a purebred was presented and it was a good example of the breed it would be snapped up. I just don't like the way the US and Canada are besotted by the "Black regime" Good traditional breeds are being corrupted by the desire for black cattle. I think to have a commercial herd with blacks is fine but when seedstock producers are promoting blacks at the expense of the way the cattle are traditionally bred. I still can't see why someone goes into a breed that doesn't want to promote them as they are meant to be. Maybe a small proportion of a herd to satisfy those customers who couldn't care less about the colour or what breed is underneath maybe acceptable. I'm not having a go at the quality of the cattle on offer but it still baffles me. [/QUOTE]
