[QUOTE="Santas and Duhram Reds, post: 746111, member: 6712"] It's stupid if you ask me. Durham Reds were an opportunity to produce an animal that could use the positive aspects of Shorthorn in the real world, but too many people in the breed want the breed to become a hobby breed and focus on clubby calves I guess. Yes it required more work and reporting data and bloodwork but part of the reason the bloodwork has to be done is because of the genetic mess the Shorthorn breed is now. Shorthorn Plus is just more of the same practices they've used in the past. I basically told them that if they phase out Durham Reds then I will phase them out of my herd. I have no use for Shorthorn Plus cattle when the immediate connotation that comes with them is Club Calves and I think most cattlemen view them the same way. [/QUOTE]
