[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 51773, member: 663"] I have to agree with the opinion of campground and others about the black hereford. This is not a Hereford that is black. It is a composite. The Brangus and Braford are examples of composites which, by their names, denote the parent breeds from which they were formed. If the black herefords had followed their lead, they could have possibly been called 'hergus or angford'. This would have seemed more honest to me. If I correctly understand how the black hereford was put together, it would have less heterosis than a true F1 black baldy. The only way I can think of that a hereford colored black could come about is for a genetic mutation of the color genes to occur. As far as I know, this has never happened. Herefords are red. It seems to me that this color thing has gone beyond ridiculus. I wonder if a can of spray paint wouldn't be a lot easier. [/QUOTE]
