[QUOTE="Mr. Greenjeans, post: 548951, member: 7085"] All good points Frankie. With todays mongrelization (due more to reckless breeding than efforts in hybridization) of cattle, it would seem a pure line of genetics would add more consistency and hybridization than using a black bull [u]only for the sake of using a black bull[/u] that someone wouldn't otherwise be able to tell phenotypically as a limousin, simmental, or angus unless they are labeled as such. Homozygous black + homozygous polled = homozygous "quien sabe" (who knows) Quien Sabe brands were Texan brands used by Texans of Mexican descent where the son added a twist to his fathers brand. After a few generations you would end up with a confusing "Quien Sabe" brand with designs flying off in every direction. An example of a "Quien Sabe Simmental" [img]http://www.bullbarn.com/simmental/BrooksTooBlack.jpg[/img] This could easily be under the title "What breed is it?" Call me old fashioned but here is how other breeds should appear. Limousin [img]http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/yann2/Sortie_HTML/img/large/Bestiaux/BB-041.jpg[/img] Simmental [img]http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/yann2/Sortie_HTML/img/large/Bestiaux/BB-079.jpg[/img] Maine-Anjou [img]http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/yann2/Sortie_HTML/img/large/Bestiaux/BB-062.jpg[/img] In summary, it is nice to know exactly what you are using as well as the animal looking and performing the part. Irish Blacks look the part. Are they performers? [/QUOTE]
