[QUOTE="Badlands, post: 358945, member: 5010"] Hey now, caustic, I didn't imply anything about the Southerners having it "wrong". I understand completely that the Brahman influence has been vital. I simply explained where some of the variation you are seeing is coming from, and why I understand your comments. Maybe I didn't make it clear, but when I mentioned using the homozygous bulls, I was talking about why it works in other places that don't have all the same genes causing problems that you folks do in the South. I understand completely that when you use the bulls I mentioned, you will get variation in colors on the Tigerstripe cow. That why I made the point. It comes from the TIGERSTRIPE cow, NOT the crossbred bull. The comment was about how to get uniformity in non-Brahman influenced herds. It doesn't mean you folks are doing it [i]wrong[/i]. You are just working with the tools you have, I understand that. However, if you begin to understand what causes the problems, maybe you can build some tigerstripes w/o all the genes causing the problems. Mate them, make F2's and sort for uniformity, you will have a Tigerstripe, without the stripes. Of course, I know better than that, too. Folks won't buy Tigerstripes w/o stripes. And that, caustic is a perception problem and nothing else. Badlands [/QUOTE]
