[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1831009, member: 42463"] I've never understood how the show circuit influences how breeders define perfection in animals. It's the same for registered dogs and other animals. The judges have some kind of weird image of what they are looking for and they trade information and land on some kind of flawed "new" concept, and then the breeders toe the line so they can win ribbons and sell breeding stock that supposed to be the "new thing". In the meantime a lot of commercially oriented people follow along and are destroyed if the concept isn't economically productive. Meanwhile the people that only concentrate on what the packers want are derided for having "old style" cattle but they are selling their animals just fine for good prices. [/QUOTE]
