[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1652566, member: 40587"] I can totally understand why those who are breeding Red Angus, and are dedicated to preserving them, would not want to breed to a black Angus, knowing it would produce a black calf. And I totally understand why black Angus breeders, do not want red genes in the gene pool. If the only reason people raised Black Angus, was to produce black Angus, then yeah, they could breed a heterozygous black to a homozygous black, and get a black calf. But, people also produce black Angus to be used as an outcross to produce black calves out of commercial cross breeds. And to produce the black Simmentals, and black Limousines, and black most every other breed of cattle. It makes perfect sense to have the 2 registries. To register both animals in the same registry, would necessitate devising alpha-numeric codes in the registration numbers, to differentiate the red from the black. Having the Red Angus Association seems to be what the members want. Having the American Angus Association seems to be what their members want,. as well. [/QUOTE]
