[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 804909, member: 14119"] Doesn't the problem go much deeper than a few recently falsified papers. Back in the late seventies and eighties it was common knowledge that the Angus were being crossed with all sorts of other breeds to chase the size fad. It seems that Holsteins were the main infusion at that time. I was warned repeated times to be very careful when buying the black cattle of the time. Even from people outside this country. With all the genetic defects showing up I think I can understand the source. The cattle that have been the most free of these are the ones that most display the original characteristics OCC, PCC, Diamond D, and probably WYE and those using those lines. Has there ever been a DNA study showing just which cattle are truly Angus? [/QUOTE]
