[QUOTE="Elder Statesman, post: 1129550, member: 7371"] You beat me to it. Most of those breeders who bred and "showed" the low bellies of the 50's, the 8 and 9 frame freaks of the 80's aren't in business any more, kind of like the emu breeders of the 90's. Nothing but a fad, not the real beef business. And I would bet a steak dinner that a lot of the ones showing the fat little toads of the 2010's won't be around in the next decade either. The "masters" weren't breeding or showing that crap. That's why they lasted for the long haul, not just jump from fad to fad, only to fizzle out in 10 years or less. Some of those guys changed breeds and programs at a pretty fast pace. Fast enough to stay ahead of the bankers and their customers. Those who want to base breeding decisions strictly by the numbers (EPDs) might want to consider the hog or poultry business, where the climate and environment can be easily controlled. [/QUOTE]
