[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4557"] Frankie thanks for the correction. I think it basically comes down to a tremendous marketing job by the American Angus Assoc. Once you develop a black commercial cowherd you will more than likely want to keep it that way. If you need to change something you can source black bulls from some of the continental breeds. I'm from Canada and Simmental appears to be the breed of choice to work with Angus genetics up here. Red Angus works even better because of the diluter gene in some Simmentals. This is being bred out of the Simm population but there are also a lot of buckskin cows going back to Charolais. The thing we have to keep in mind is that there is no one breed that is the be all and end all of the beef industry. How many registered hogs and chickens are sold in your area? Most are a combination of breeds now. Will this happen to the beef industry. It already is. When the packers and retailers identify what breeds and bloodlines work best for them, we will see vertical integration that will eliminate most if not all of the smaller registered beef herds. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
