[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1761665, member: 40587"] Actually, it was Angus breeders first, then all cattle producers that raised black babies from their off-colored cows or who used other bulls on their black cows, that benefitted. As was the intent of the CAB marketing program. The dilution of other breeds by trying to turn them black, was due to pure ignorance of genetics by hose breeders. The dumbasses could have bred their original colored Simm/Lim/Gel to registered Angus bulls, and had black calves to market that very year, instead of spending decades to turn their breeds homozygous black. You are right about good longtime breeding programs being forced forced out of business. What should have happened was for breeders to market THEIR breed as the best breed to cross with Angus to get the biggest, fastest-growing, highest scoring CAB eligible calves, and select for and breed for the bulls and cows to do that. The black was gonna happen with the Continental breeds, except Charlolais , with the pb cross to homozygous BA bulls. I could think of all kinds of advertising slogans for original red & white Simmental, Hereford, Limosine, etc., to make their breeding stock as valuable and as sought after as the pb Angus crosses they have turned into today.
