[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 594535, member: 7439"] I've done my share of complaining, but let's give credit where it's due: CHB sales this year were up from 2.9 million pounds last year to 4.4 million pounds this year, just in the foodservice sector, with an overall increase of 1.4 million pounds. 84% of calves registered were by Total Performance Records breeders, and 107,521 cows were enrolled in TPR. Increased acceptance and use of Hereford bulls by AI studs. ABS Global reported a 56% increase in Hereford semen sales. Over the last five years there has been a 5,000+ head increase in AI use, with 19.4% of the total Hereford calf-crop being the result of AI. (I have mixed feelings about this, but it has been a point of criticism for our breed by some.) A change I heartily approve of was the shift from an IMF EPD to a marbling EPD. The designation of Sire of Distinction and CHB sire of distinction allows you to see the track record of the sires in a bull's pedigree pertaining to producing outstanding cows, or exceptional carcass performance. There is ongoing research at Harris Ranch, Circle A Ranch, University of Missouri, and Amana Farms. The Circle A and U of M data is supporting the claim of Hereford efficiency that has been proven by the first year Harris Ranch studies. [/QUOTE]
