[QUOTE="Foxx, post: 140344, member: 2676"] Yes, I have looked at Pathfinders. However, can't a Pathfinder be made? Just thinking on paper, but if I had ten cow herds of 10 cows each, I could put a cow in the lowest herd who was only 10% of the best cow. And she could become a pathfinder. Or can't Pathfinders be lost? I could put a Pathfinder cow in a herd of eight, and she could be one of the best cows in the nation. But nobody would ever know of her. Can only the bigger breeders with separation of herds have PathfinderS? I don't know about all of you, but I come from a background of showing other types of animals. I find that some people just lie about what they have. When you go to their animals, they produce nothing like what you expect. Of course, now you have a year into them, and you have offspring that you dislike and have a choice to keep it (for your side of the good genetics) or toss it along with a year of your breedings (very costly in my view) to get it gone. And this experience has made me less than trusting. I do find the cattle folks refreshing. But are they never liars? [/QUOTE]
