Figured I'd get in on this...
Tell this to Frankie (Angus) and some of those other Brangus breeders who felt their breed is not just like any other turned black.. :shock:
I'd rather help change it in the right direction!
Hmmmm :idea: Could you elaberate on this a little? First you are saying it dosen't come from the first cross, then you say the first cross is a baldie, then you say you have to "breed up"....and have a percentage to be registered Herefords...cmon!
I can't believe you slammed the Holstiens. They are some of the hardest working cattle out there to meet human's needs. Those breeders have taken huge strides in their fields and many beef breeders have learned from their research and practices. Those breeders and their cattle have been able to maintain production, genetics and integrity of the breed for many many years.
Your inference that the Hereford breed has changed in it's phenotype only tells me #1) You don't know the history of the Hereford #2) You can't see that it is to the breeders credit that they have been able adapt the Hereford and make adjustments to meet market demands, and #3) You can't see that it is to the breeds credit that the Hereford has maintained it's position as being an adaptable, functional, and useful animal w/o sacrificing it's integrity as a purebred.
