New Mexico | They outcross and believe in composite cattle.
( Jim is a big heterosis believer and so are Seth and Lee ).
On the strait black angus, be a touch carefull.
Nother defect has cropped in, called "dd" or polymelia which is basically calves born with an extra leg.

it's not as prevalient as nh ( neuropathic hydroceopholis was ) which effected piles of angus.
dd on both side still causes 25% open cows though...just like nh did.
Bottom Line: Do NOT follow the " bull of the month club" nor the supposed big money angus club.
