[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 73142, member: 969"] In the registered seedstock business, it's always better to try to produce an animal that best expresses the strengths of that breed. If you are breeding Herefords, you shouldn't look to make a better Angus than an Angus. This is the big problem with multi-breed shows having a grand-champion. Seldom will a breed, particularly a breed that doesn't allow crossbreeding or whatever euphemism like purebloods they call it, compete with the crossbreds. If everybody chases the fads, when a producer needs a breed's strong traits for his commercial breeding program, they won't be there. The handiest tool in the toolbox is the right tool for the job, not the best looking tool. [/QUOTE]
