[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1651713, member: 24816"] In Angus DNA Isn’t required for registration. Although red is strongly avoided within most of those herds. If a breeder is real concerned about the possibility of red calves then a 2 or 3 generations and beyond should pretty well end red calves from those BWF females. Like I said I’m not opposed to the “black” Herefords, I’m experimenting with some home raised BWF bulls on our cows too. I don’t think I would ever buy one or use them AI. I looked a while back at the “black” Hereford website and wasn’t real impressed with what they were showing as far as AI sires. In my opinion there are a lot of common BWF calves over the years that are sold as steers that are better looking individuals than some of the bulls I see being marketed as black Herefords. The selection pool of Herefords or Angus is much deeper and diverse. It really doesn’t bother me one way or the other what someone does with their breeding programs. It just seems from what we are told that they have a real good program, and a goal which I sincerely hope works well, I just personally feel like that for the stated quality of cows and effort put in that those bulls may not be maximizing the potential.
