[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 518021, member: 13"] "exception"? Not necessarily. Did you even read the original post in this thread? My response was based on the original thread comment: he had a red Angus heifer. If you have a red heifer, she's probably not Angus. Thus my response: are you sure? And my comment was directed to be sure he had what he had paid for: an Angus heifer. I'll disagree with you. Hide color does have value in the current market. Maybe not everywhere, but, right or wrong, in a large part of the country black animals are worth more than similar red animals. And my point was that meat quality wasn't mentioned anywhere in the first post or my response. My response was to question if his heifer was Angus or Red Angus. As you can see from some responses, some people don't know the difference. Won't argue with that statement. And EXCEL uses a lot of Red Angus for their Sterling Silver line of beef. The Red Angus Association has been way out front in helping market tagged Red Angus calves. No cheating involved. Any black animal can be considered to have some Angus in him, as far as I'm concerned. I see people every day referring to any black animal as an "angus." Around here anything with some ear and black is called a "brangus". Without some sort of ear tag to trace the animal's origins, order buyers go with their best guess. Sometimes they're right; sometimes they're not. Many breeds have ear tags you can put on your calves to identify their genetics. Angus came late to that dance, but now that they're there, I think sooner, rather than later, you're going to see ear tagged calves, of all breeds, become the norm in the industry. Right now CAB is using those calves mostly in the "natural" program, but the numbers of calves identified is growing fast. Of course, it's easy to double or triple your numbers when you start at 0. :) And MY POINT again is that they're not the same. Red Angus is using Angus bulls to help bridge the gap, but they're a long way from matching the numbers and demand of Angus. If anyone asks if it [b]has[/b] Angus, say heck yeah. But it's probably not Angus if it's red. It's RED Angus. That's the point to my response to the original post. Red Angus are red. Angus are black. If the original poster paid for an Angus X heifer and she's red, he probably didn't get what he paid for. :roll: [/QUOTE]
