[QUOTE="Keren, post: 416230, member: 3195"] RED POLL - dark cherry red - white tail switch - generally smaller framed - generally more dairy in appearance (finer boned, less muscled, more angular in appearance) RED ANGUS - orange red (darker than a limo but lighter than a shorthorn) - red tail switch (or sometimes black, and occasionally white) - generally larger framed - generally more beefy in appearance (heavier bone, more muscle, more blocky in shape) When you have the two standing in front of you it is easy to tell the difference. Please note I have said [i]generally[/i] because there are some breeders out there turning off well muscled, larger framed RPs, and I am sure there are some RAs lacking muscle. If you were to have a pen of very poor RA heifers alongside some of the better RPs, you might have a bit of trouble. [/QUOTE]
