[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 920481, member: 7509"] I think the Hereford association is one of the few if not only association working to keep the bloodlines pure and true. their new requirement to have DNA samples on all bulls born after Jan 1 of last year before progeny can be registered is a good one. It adds some cost but I think will be proved worthwhile in the long run. Caustic, I understand why some breeders got out of Herefords under the pressure to go black (I appreciate the admission of a "little deceit" above) but even a small, commercial, freezer beef guy like me is getting calls looking for a Hereford bull this year. I think the "black" house of cards is about to crash down. Many buyers now realize it's the quality of the beef, not the hide color, that is important. Folks are seeing the benefits of heterosis and looking for good Hereford bulls to put on all these black cows around. Your neighbors may wish they were still in the Hereford bull business.
