[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 309681, member: 245"] I think I'll defend that statement. When the Herefords were bred up so quickly, they used bulls out of one herd almost exclusively (the name escapes me unfortunately. Domino ?). But at the time they did that, that's where those poorer traits showed up that have dogged the Hereford breed ever since. That's the problem with breeding for one trait (size, color, or whatever). If you are using certain bloodlines to obtain an end goal, there is always a risk of picking up a few negatives along the way. [/QUOTE]
