[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 72468, member: 220"] Agree with you, Ollie. Too many people chase a fad and produce quantity not quality. About ten years back we saw the same thing in the horse industry. Paint horses were selling like hotcakes, and seemed like if a registered stud or mare had any sort of colour meant they were good enough to be bred. What a bunch of junk - knock kneed, ewe necked, bad dispostions - it was a real chore to find good quality Paints. Now that the 'colour' fad is over in this area, it's weeded out a lot of those 'get rich quick' breeders (and their stock). Unfortunately, it's also left a lot of people soured on Paints...but then again, Honey is still soured on Polled Herefords, as they were such poor quality animals when they started making an appearance here (thin gutted, pinny hipped beggars). Take care. [/QUOTE]
