[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 140369, member: 2306"] My great grandpa, Pappy, and my folks raised 'Aberdeen Angus' from the 40's on, and when they started chasing the show circuit, AI'ing to names like Pine Drive, in the late 70's/early 80's, we started getting white. Cows w/white udders and belly patches, calves w/funny 'jock' marks, and so on. I had a 4-H steer one year that was supposed to be out of Pine Drive, and one of my Grandpa's favorite cows. He gave it to me for 4-H b/c it came out w/a white belly and 3 white socks! Trust me, it wasn't a semen error, and we didn't have any Hereford/Simmy neighbours then either. I guess there's not much sense kicking old turds around too much, and we could all probably give plenty of these types of stories. But one thing we can't argue, is that some breeds changed awful fast and raised alot of eyebrows, long before blood-typing was heard of. Is there a point to mulling it over anymore? I don't think so really. But it's one of those topics that'll be argued forever, like Chev vs. Ford vs. Dodge. :lol: :cboy: :lol: [/QUOTE]
