Depends on your market. We use exclusively Red Angus bulls (an occasional Polled Hereford for generating replacments)and our calves do as well as black Angus. But, we don;t market them where black is preferred. Quality animals will bring quality dollars. Of course that's another one of those "generally" things. There are some pretty sorry Red Angus bulls being sold as breeding stock, but some of the smaller breeders have really good quality animals that are one too many generations removed from the fancy name bulls to get the big bucks for them. If your market is black oriented go black, if quality animals pay, use green if that's the color you like.
