[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6437"] I think one could make a case that there’s more Angus beef sold worldwide than any other breed. According to Dr. Darrel Peel from Ok State University, thirty percent (30%) of the world’s beef is produced on the North American Continent, Mexico, US and Canada. A CattleFax survey a few years ago showed over 60% of the cow herds in the US have Angus influence. The American Angus Assn. expects that to reach 80% in the next 5-10 years. Canada’s beef industry is only about 12% the size of the US and they’re turning black, too. Does anyone know the percentage? I don’t know how Mexico’s beef industry compares to the US, but Dr. Peel says that Mexican cattlemen are receiving the “same sharp marketing signals about the color of hide, quality of cattle, frame size…” as US cattlemen are receiving. Mexican cattlemen are as smart as US and Canadian cattlemen. They’ll figure out what works in their environment and management program and I’ll bet many of them can and will use Angus genetics. > just one comment though: the world > cattle population is not turning > black. in belgium alone there are > more then 2 million heads of > cattle, and not even one percent > is black. go figure.
