I am a veterinary student and we are discussing a case involving a black angus bull getting loose and inpregnating some of the purebred herefords. The owners furious because they were going to have a black baldy calf. Everything I've seen shows that that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not familiar with the beef industry, I thought I'd ask an expert for more information as to why these owners were so upset about getting a black baldy calf in their purebreed livestock?
