[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1733735, member: 12607"] "During the frame race lots of other genetics got added into the breed. " Did they really? I've been hearing that since the 1980s... Things like "Pine Drive Big Sky - the most famous Amerifax bull in Angus history!", claims that B/R New Design 036 had Brown Swiss behind him, etc. But other than the Polled Perfection deal in the Hereford breed, I've not seen conclusive proof to support those claims. Genomic testing - which was not available in the 1980s, but certainly has been applied to some older sires by now - would have identified those 'contaminated' gene sources. But... maybe the big-name 'movers and shakers' were able to keep it swept under the rug. [/QUOTE]
