[QUOTE="Kent, post: 196217, member: 2134"] Well, there you have it. It is clear from the Red Angus Association's own magazine that Red Angus registrations both in 2004-05 and peak are not at Hereford levels, although they are doing very well. So, what was the guy in Simmtalk talking about? Sooner or later people will realize there are very few unbiased people in the beef cattle industry when it comes to breeds. I'm certainly not unbiased, but I'm not giving seminars or writing articles, either. However, if it's a breed association publication, naturally it is not going to be unbiased and it shouldn't be. But breed articles pick and choose data that casts their breed in a favorable light and don't make much mention of unfavorable data, and I don't blame them. Let me say this further: I like Red Angus cattle, better than black actually because I prefer the red color. I just dislike breed promotion type articles being touted as scientific or statistical fact, especially when my breed is the one taking the hit. [/QUOTE]
