[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 674569, member: 440"] I read that article in the Drover and I thought the same thing. I think that's where the cattle industry is headed. Many breeders are already complying with this theme. So many herds are turning black and already many of them are black generic cattle. Distinct breeds are being lost. Look how many breeds are black and it's hard to discern what genetic make up that they are. The so called Lims, Sims, Gelbviehs, Salers, heck even Beefmasters are black now. Everything is blending into a black generic cow. What about the black Charolais? Reminds me of the poultry (broiler) industy -white chickens that are scientifically bred to produce X amount of gain per day. Harvest them young with no regards to actual quality or taste-just push to produce pounds of meat. These chickens are so high bred that you have to butcher them by a certain age or their feet and legs can't hold them up, they collapse. Not trying to bash the black cattle and this'll get someone po'd but that's how I see it. [/QUOTE]
