Just a funny story.
I was showing my grandfather some of my new Hereford cows, and some of my future bull prospects. (I should say that he is purely an Angus fan, if it isn't angus or angus source he wants no part of it. ) I was telling him that he should use one of my lower BW bulls on his straight bred angus cows. I went further and told him that due to hybrid vigor he could expect to get added revenue at weaning time. He said, "but we run gardiner bulls, so we can't get better growth". He went on to talk about how they didn't believe in heterosis.
Upon leaving he said "only thing wrong with em is that they aren't black", how typical.
