[QUOTE="VanC, post: 663684, member: 3355"] Nonsense. Nothing against Angus, but the reason all those breeds turned black is because of the color, not the breed. Because of CAB, the packers started paying more for black hides so that's what people wanted. If they wanted Angus, they would have changed over to Angus, but they didn't want Angus, just the black hide. They wanted to keep the traits they liked about their chosen breeds, only they wanted them black. Do you really think an animal that's 15/16 Gelbvieh and 1/16 Angus is going to show a lot of Angus traits, other than the color? As for Longhorns, why should anyone care what another person raises? From what I've seen, the Longhorn breeders on this forum are what it should be about. They answer questions with patience and respect, even when their breed is being bashed and they're being looked down upon. And I'm not talking about some cut and paste from some association website. They give real answers with real knowledge that they've gained from experience. They are happy doing what they're doing and are secure enough that they don't care what others think about it. They don't get snotty and defensive and there's none of this "rah rah my breed is best" crap. Yes, there are a lot of other breeders on here that do it the same way, but there are many that don't. It seems to be across the board with the Longhorn breeders, though. The bottom line is there's a place for everyone and every breed. Live and let live. [/QUOTE]
