[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 311137, member: 2095"] I think we are drawing too many conclusions from the painting. The bull is in the pedigree of MOST Herefords in the world. His descendents, many linebred DID hold up in the cold, the Texas heat, and the Arizona desert. Within thirty years of his passing his descendants both commercial and registered were everywhere. As a breeding bull who has had an effect on the cattle industry, it is very difficult too come up with a single sire who had a greater impact on the American beef industry. IF we could clone him and bring him back today; would he even be noticed??? Would he be as influential or would he be used at all??? To me, a bull is judged by his calves once they are on the ground and his were phenomenally popular, his sons apparently got out there and bred their cows, and his daughters apparently impressed the cattlemen of the day enough that they kept their daughters en masse. Whether or not somebody 110 years later likes his painting or not probably is not really relevant. [/QUOTE]
