[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 920415, member: 694"] I agree it was pure genius in the begining as they were the only "black cattle", what he AAA didn't see was dang near every other breed turn black overnight to chase the premium. Over a period of time it has become a fraud due to the other breeds turning black and Angus didn't change the rules and IMO have set us all up to take a huge PR hit. I agree with on Hereford I was a long standing member in the assocation and quit them this year for lack of vision and not spending the money to market the cattle. I had many conversations that fell on deaf ears. Two years ago there were two long term Hereford seedstock producers in my area today none. I have people call every week looking for bulls and can't believe I don't have any, they ask about my running buddy who was breeder and tell them he has went commerical as well. For the first time in over twenty years there are no Hereford bulls standing in my pasture. Neighbors are running the last three I raised. All I could see they were doing with the dues and registration fees was supporting a few workers and the rest who know's. There registering process went to a money making scheme IMO. These cattle associations haven't been our friends in all cases and have done a lot of harm in others going from purebred to fullblood anything to make a dollar for the association . Some of these associations have got to the point they will take any cow as long as one of their bulls drove by in a trailer. We have let this happen the members that paid the dues to support them. The whole mess started when it came about chasing black hide and has went straight downhill every sense. We have created a generation of cattlemen that are color bound not quality and think if it has papers it is quality. [/QUOTE]
