[QUOTE="etmountianman71, post: 1240683, member: 21270"] Well, Glad that I could help stir up the emotions :) and see your feeling better. :tiphat: The "Angus Meat" that so many people are looking for at the market and restaurants are pushed for the marbling, that is what I hear from some of the processors: but many of the people requesting it do not have a clue to the actual meat other than the name "Angus". Many breeds (pure or cross) have good carcasses but not the published name. The hide is pushed at the sale barn. But basically we want the "big butts, and cannot lie" for sales of calves. The "Black Hide" phenomenon to change would be a disaster for some commercial small farmers, and others could just simply change their Bull as stated. But we all know to make that change all it would take would be a small but vocal political group to either find something wrong with the "black hide" or to find something better with another color "red, white, green, or yellow" and push that issue in the right community setting to succeed. So what do we do as breeders to help diversify and strengthen the baseline needed? Is it to keep arguing over whose breed is the best? Work together on two or three way crosses? Move away or towards purebreeding? [/QUOTE]
