[QUOTE="robert, post: 736850, member: 9171"] not really, still factually inaccurate. Belt buckle was the result of a selection for type by breeders, no different than selection for the freaks of the '80's. Not all belt buckle types carried dwarfism, the Hereford Association determined that there was no correlation between type and carriers of dwarfism. Dwarfism spread due to two things, the outcrossing policy of the WHR operation an those who used their genetics and the popularity of those genetics across the breed, once people started linebreeding through the 3rd, 4th generations and beyond the incidence of dwarfism increased. A very similar situation that happened to Angus with the AM and NH defects added to the popularity and policy of GAR and their followers. The author of 'Battle of Bull Runts' was somewhat prophetic in this regard! [/QUOTE]
