[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 281140, member: 2095"] A "breed" is whatever the breeder says it is......in an ideal world after 40 years of linebreeding, rigorous culling, and intensive selection. All "registered" means is that an association of breeders somewhere were willing to give me a piece of paper on this particular animal. I have seen people with horses registered by something called the ~'ranch horse association' basically a western outfit that will register your grade horses on the theory that the word "registered" adds value to the animal. All breeds start by someone promoting a set of animals as somehow superior or unique and other people buying into that theory. Herefords themselves were once a set of mongrelized crossbred cows in Herfordshire England. People literally spent their lifetimes improving those foundation cattle. It is possible that 150 years from now 'Black Herefords' COULD be the best set of cows in the world.......that doesn't look very likely right now, but their breeders control their own destiny.
