[QUOTE="madbeancounter1, post: 119163, member: 2046"] JHH - Congrats on the heifer... Washington Co had a few different breed crosses represented across the classes but by and large everything had a black hide. This is my daughter's first year to show in Benton Co. I don't know the competition here very well yet so I am not sure what to expect. Cattlemom wrote earlier that there were only about 40 animals entered over all. When we live up in the land of Ice and Snow there were at least 150 animals over all. As for the black ones... I have 'em too but like so many have said, once the hide's off you can't tell a difference without genetic testing. I think maybe worse than that is the fact that if we keep up the pattern there won't be any need for genetic testing since it'll all be one big pool. JMO I guess I just made a hypocrit of myself since the commercial stuff we are raising is mostly black hided Maine Angus. The registered stuff is MG... interesting how not all of them are actually grey either. The first heifer we got had a black hided purebred MG daddy, mama was grey. She started out dark grey but has migrated toward a dun color. [/QUOTE]
