[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1653636, member: 24816"] I agree most of the consumers have no idea what the animals are, that’s why it aggravates me so much that they are being manipulated into thinking they are assuredly getting a certain product when in realty it may or may not be. I have seen registered Angus bulls that looked more like crosses, than some known crosses. Usually if I can have time to look them over I can tell a different breed of bull, cows and calves are more difficult for me. I am quite certain a significant number of black cattle are very high percentage continental breeding marketed as Angus. I have sold calves in sales that are geared toward CHB. Sometimes I have thought the graders have taken liberties with what’s accepted in those sales too. I’ve bought some groups of red baldies that are supposed to be only crosses of Hereford x Red Angus. I have ended up with a few Brahman crosses and even a dehorned longhorn in the groups, as well as a solid red dexter looking calf. I’ve eaten quite a bit of Hereford beef but not CHB. [/QUOTE]
