[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 623662, member: 4437"] [i]Socialistic beef trends are occurring. About a year ago, I studied the projected global EPD book and methodologies (BIF?). It is perfectly natural for a weaker breed to want to merge with a stronger breed and a stronger breed to resist merging completely. I would think the stronger breed has to be weakened, in some strange way, by a major negative genetic occurence, or maybe even as the result of a weaker breed(s), before they will support it. It is also perfectly normal for a weaker breed rancher to switch breeds and or hedge their chosen breed with the stronger breed. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to use combined breed EPD numbers. However, the Hereford numbers in regards to accuracy are likely being effected negatively for accuracy. This suspected trend could worsen. For now, I am trying to listen closely for yelping noises similar to Doc's comment.[/i] [/QUOTE]
