[QUOTE="la4angus, post: 19200, member: 132"] Arnold Are you implying that the Reg. Angus cattle of today are bred up from the shorthorn, hereford and longhorn. Certainly George Grant did not keep the imported bulls around and feeding them until other Reg. Angus cows were imported to breed them to. Certainly, they were bred to other breeds to improve the over all quality of the other breeds plus the longhorns, IF the bull was tall enough to mount and breed the longhorn cow. These offspring were considered improved commercial cattle and as the off spring was bred back to Angus bulls, the quality just kept improving. As Registered Aberdeen Angus cows and heifers were imported into the USA Registered ANGUS bulls were bred to them and the offspring was registered and was able to keep the breed pure. There was not a bunch of wealthy men ready to breed to anything for 3 to 4 generations and then say that they had purebred cattle and also register them in an association as being purebred. This Is how about 95% or more of all these continental or exotic breeds were developed in this the USA. As far as the beef goes, REG. ANGUS, Reg Hereford, and Reg Shorthorn are pure. The other so called breeds are a composite of at least one other breed and sometimes of two, three or more different breeds. Many are crossed with dairy breeds. [/QUOTE]
