[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 590252, member: 1683"] CattleHand - and Others-- I can't speak for other members of the Forum, or, for that matter, other breeder's as well, but in my particular component, factor or element of discussion, it depends on, or is contingent upon the particular talking points of the moment. If we are in a discussion regarding breeding protocols involving traits, characteristics, EPD's, functional structure results from matings and progeny results both Genetic and Phenotypical - then very probably the references would be to purebred ("Registered" or not) seedstock and their progeny. On the other hand, if the discussion is between a group of Cattlemen leaning over a fence or standing around observing a penfull of Feeder calves, and the talking points revolve around their particular color, or their physical attributes (or lack thereof), or the possibility of their profit potentialities, then the importance of whether they are purebred is merely conjecture. If the discussion involves the desirability or possibility of mating selections through breeding protocols - either straight purebred or crossbreeding selections - then -Yes- the status of their genetic make-up is of vital importance, and the percentage of "purebred" genetics, or not, or the 'mated' individuals is certainly critical and cogent to the topic being discussed. Your question is a good one, and points out the absolute importance upon which the topic of "Beef Cattle Breeding" is established, and solidifies the need to understand everything surrounding the business of making the raising of beef cattle JOB [b]ONE![/b] I hope this helps in answering your question, because it is a subject which should be uppermost in the minds' and converstations of EVERY Beef Cattle Breeder who is interested in PROFIT from their BU$INE$$ endeavors. Otherwise, they are just playing games and indulging in their hobby. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
