[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1803708, member: 39072"] The term “mini” is entirely defined by height at certain age’s genius. So you have to be concerned about height to be concerned about “mini genes “ polluting the greater gene pool. When those genes directly relate to height. Yet height and weight are two totally separate things. As I pointed out earlier “mini highlands have been documented for thousands of years. So they are already in the gene pool. And have been around far longer then most breeds.and will be around after many of the other breeds loose favor. The current trend is for smaller framed cattle, that is what current consumers want. They don’t want the big huge steaks of the 1980s .and neither do the packers. Many breeds are concerned about the outside genes added to the breeds during the big frame rush. Is that simple enough for you to understand [/QUOTE]
