[QUOTE="cattleman99, post: 784646, member: 14530"] Well all the myths are false. Simmentals have to be 7/8s to be registered as Purebreds. The rest would be considered SimAngus or whatever else they might be. So the max % in the US is 13% non Simmental Blood and 6% non Simmental in Canada for Bulls. I wouldn't look to other Breeds magazines for facts on a different breed. Not a very reliable source. Now assuming all Simmentals were 7/8's, which isn't true, and assuming they were all crossed with Angus, again not even close to being accurate as there is as much or more Hereford blood if you trace back far enough not to mention all the other breeds you'll see whomever wrote this article made it all up. And as far as adding other breeds we've all heard rumours over the years about all Breeds at one time or another. With DNA and every bull needing DNA on file to register calves that kind of ends that Myth pretty quickly. As for the black hide black is the dominant gene. Probably one of the easiest single traits to select for is black hide. Once they are black they are black. Can be done very quickly with very little influence from other breeds long term. As for ABS the bulls are black and red because they are black and red. ABS hasn't marketed a traditional bull in quite a few years. [/QUOTE]
