[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 739122, member: 6543"] As a lifelong angus breeder I have been long pondering how to overcome the competition from all the new black breeds that have evolved in the last couple of decades. Is there any breed today that does not have a black variant? Well I have not seen a black, red poll yet but there may well be some. black charolais black chianina black hereford black simmental black gelbveigh the list is a a long one Where do you suggest we go for the white gene to create this new breed? Personally I don't want to go the albino route as to many associated problems. but as a breed purist it must be considered as the preferred route. the good news is that if a white animal can be found to begin the breed conversion, by todays standards the first cross can be considered by all to be purebred and all alleged progress can continue unabated. Only thing I can think of is back to the original long horn. Lots of color varitation there and we can establish technicolor angus. Just for grins what say we select for the horns too. No sense limiting ourselves to one improvement. [/QUOTE]
