[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 711791, member: 7509"] Does declining REGISTRATIONS necessarily mean total breed (relative) numbers are decreasing? I know quite few folks with both Hereford and Angus herds who do not register an animal. Unless you are a breeder why bother? I want to buy a registered bull so I know what I've got. However I am pretty well convinced that I am going to have to develop my own cows to get them the way I want them. If I am selling calves to feedlots or beef to consumers why bother registering anything? My goal is to stay pure Hereford but I want to see the end product the way my customers want it on their plate, a piece of paper doesn't taste very good! Folks have also been talking about declining Hereford registrations. That may be true but I don't think that necessarily means the Hereford breed is in decline, nor Angus. While the entire US cattle herd numbers are declining, registrations declining at a higher rate may just be because fewer folks are choosing to register their cattle. Or am I missing something?
