[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4559"] Frankie thanks for the correction but your response still didn't answer my question. Why black? Do Red Angus not also possess desirable carcass traits? If an animal is accepted that is 49% white I would bet that there is a heck of a lot less Angus in him than a 50%. It seems that the color thing has gotten out of hand or perhaps it is just more convenient to call all the black ones part Angus. Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking the Angus breed as I raise reg. Red Angus And Simmentals. All things being equal when using similar type bulls of each breed ie: birth weight, mature size, dam size etc. there is little difference in perfomance on the top end calves. There is a difference however in CONSISTENCY of that performance throughout the two groups. Look out though when heterosis kicks in on the SimmAngus calves. Those calves really push the scale down and for us that's where it counts. [/QUOTE]
