[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1322046, member: 24816"] When I was a child, I would have never thought that there would be a day when Simmentals would be black, they were all shades of red and white. On that same note it's hard for me to imagine the Angus and Hereford cattle from the 50's that I see in pictures, changing to the cattle that were in the 70's-80's. It is just a result of what traits and phenotype are desired and bred for. Cattle are continually being bred for certain qualities, and I guess color is as much a part of that as anything else. That being said, I do think that there are a lot of traits being diminished with both potentially positive and negative outcomes. I used to have Charolais, they were all as a result of breeding up registry programs, and thus looked a lot different than their full French ancestors. [/QUOTE]
