[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1322681, member: 24816"] I agree, I think it is a shame in a lot of ways too. I have some Angus, and use mostly Angus bulls, but I do think that the Angus marketing helped to eliminate a lot of good cattle of other breeds. Like has been said, I have always heard that there isn't much difference between the breeds. I do understand that Angus are on average better at marbling, but have bought some CAB steaks that weren't any better or as good in a couple cases, as the other steaks at the store. When I was younger, there were some fairly large herds of Herefords, and Santa Gertrudis in the area, now those fields are mostly black cattle. I can't help but feel that a lot of years and efforts put into breeding those cowherds, were ended with the push to go to black cattle, and that the black color has been viewed as more important than quality in getting there. Please forgive me fellow Angus breeders, and know that I will readily speak on the strong points of Angus too. [/QUOTE]
