[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 625276, member: 13"] We can get the "guessing" out of the way. AAA reasoning for calling the Red Factor a Class II defect: [i]Red Coat color is a genetic factor monitored by the American Angus Assn. It is monitored because it is caused by a simple recessive gene and because red calves are not eligible for registration under the rules of the American Angus Assn. Red Color has no effect on the reproduction, growth or beef-producing ability of the animal.[/i] I think it's been pretty well documented on this board that across the country, black calves outsell similar quality calves of other colors. And I've never suggested that quality calves only come in black. As far as I know there's no such breed as BLACK ANGUS. And, no, I never said there was no difference between Red Angus and Angus. The Angus breed has millions more data records on file, hundreds more bulls tested, calves weighed, bulls scanned, actual carcass data, than [b]any [/b]other breed. And that's what makes Angus the most used breed in the US. Buyers use the coat color to identify Angus influence. [/QUOTE]
