[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 674113, member: 440"] Who is she? And yes, this is a stupid argument. I simply posted the picture of the black cow to show this know it all that there are black Longhorn cattle and then this person has to flatter themself and say taht there's Angus in her to cause her to be black. While I don't feel the need to have my cow DNA tested I will be glad to do so if Frankie wants to pay for it because I have enough faith in her pedigree that it is correct. I don't believe that this cow has Angus in her back ground. Nor do I believe that all Longhorns that are black have Angus in them. I do know that the Angus/Longhorn crosses that I've seen were polled if the Angus was a true polled animal. The polled gene is dominant. The black color usually does show up but not always solid, sometimes solid, somestimes a lineback or spotted or speckled. This is one of the reasons we don't like to cross them with Angus because they still get docked at the sale yard because of the color even if they are a well built animal. I remember my uncle's registered Angus herd when I was a kid. Back in the 70's the Angus we were used to were the little teddy bear type cows and then almost overnight they went up in frame size to this bigger, taller animal. Of course some had scurs and white on their udders too. Guess they got in too big of a huryy and didn't get all of the Holstein traits out quick enough. [/QUOTE]
