[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 80541, member: 13"] I don't believe it's a fad (but I'm an Angus breeder). I remember my uncle telling me in '83 that the buyers paid more for black calves at the sale barn than his red Limousin calves. Now, I don't know how good his Limousin calves were, I just remember him saying that the buyers liked black. The Angus Association went out on a limb with CAB and EPDs. Both have paid off for Angus breeders. They're also working hard with CAB-licensed feedlots and the AnguSource tags to add marketing value to known Angus cattle, not just generic black. So, personally, I expect Angus to remain popular, even if "black" doesn't. [/QUOTE]
