[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 274114, member: 968"] Nice PUREBRED BLACK SIMMENTAL. Angus lovers and those jeolous of the improvement of any breed, love to bash "black" Simmental, and like to take the credit for how great the Simmental breed has become. As Doc Harris reported on a different thread, after several generations of "upgrading", there are miniscule genes left in the modern upgraded animal. According to Cornell U (they handle the EPD's for ASA), of ALL the registered BLACK SIMMENTAL, there is an AVERAGE of 8% "other genes" - THIS IS AN AVERAGE OF ALL BLACK SIMMENTALS - meaning the 1/2 bloods are included, so most PUREBRED isn't carrying enough "ANGUS" genes to make squat difference in the animal. Black hair does not make or break the quality of the animal - just "really helps" market culled MALE STEERS - CAB PROGRAM - really love it!!!! True Angus breeders respect and admire the qualities of the Simmental breed, and appreciate the new modern AMERICAN made Simmental cattle. The AMERICAN Angus has changed a lot over the years also. And yes, there are many PUREBRED Angus breeders taking advantage of the new modern BLACK Simmental to produce those great Simangus cattle. This has been hashed over about as much as the CAB program - let's grow up & "get real". And yes, that SimmXAng steer looks more like a Jersey cross. That is an embarressment to the true Simangus cattle. [/QUOTE]
