[QUOTE="fhug, post: 1583165, member: 32689"] All breed associations have/had that to one degree or the other. Stick with them long enough and pay attention, they will show up. And probably most business type associations as well. And you are correct, the power and money is usually the place to find the flaws. And those who swear all is perfect and legit with their group or organizations remind me a lot of the politicians and voters who follow their political party leaders blindly. They refuse to believe there could be any flaws that need/should be corrected to make things better. Breed associations can have a lot of benefits. But I sure hope you have enough cattle/business sense that you don't have to rely upon them to tell you what cattle to breed, and market them for you. I put a lot more stock in talking to breeders I trust and knowing their program than I do EPD's. Especially when low accuracy animals get highly promoted before they even have any progeny. I have seen several new and naïve ranchers over the years that went broke when taken advantage of buy other breeders AND breed association employees. In several breeds. [/QUOTE]
