[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1625847, member: 20580"] Are they registered Hereford bulls? If so I am curious what the registration numbers are. Reason I ask is I see too many posts by people that bought what they think is a purebred Hereford bull without registration papers so if they are not registered how can they know with confidence that they are purebred Herefords? Breed purity topics are hot discussions in some Hereford circles where I have heard stories of entirely black calves out of Hereford bulls. But I always wonder if those bulls have been registered and DNA tested and who the breeder is because of all the years we have sold bulls to commercial breeders we have never heard of one of our polled bulls siring an all black calf or odd color patterns. We DNA test all our sale bulls and never had 1 test positive as diluter. Some guys say the Polled Hereford is a crossbred and that is why there are so many inconsistencies with Hereford crosses. There are probably some impurities in every breed but those who are collecting DNA and data are being as transparent as possible where if you are taking the word of someone selling you an unregistered animal they can look the part but do you really know the history behind that animal?
