[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 909101, member: 7509"] The American Hereford Association is requiring all bulls born after 1/1/2011 to be DNA typed before their progeny can be registered. I think this is a good thing rather than the watered down genetics showing up (eg "Black Herefords"). Pretty soon there will be few "purebreds" left to work with if something like DNA is not done. I have cows that I bought as "straight" Herefords, but none were registered. I've since bought two registered heifers but more as an experiment than anything else since I sell freezer beef. I have purchased registered Hereford bulls however and will continue to do so. Coming from a good breeder, they are known quantities and along with culling of my commercial cows will help me develop and grow the herd in the directions I want to go as I retain many heifers.
