[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 435456, member: 4437"] [i]There could be several reasons, a few of which I will touch on. Economical reasons: Let say I bred an ugly skinny Polled Hereford heifer calf with high SC and CE EPD numbers, like Felton 517. When she grew up, she threw 17 skinny and ugly cross bred females and zero attractive cross bred males. She didn't miss a lick. She minds her manners. When you open the chute, she walks in. Marketing reasons: To be unique and offer a niche avenue to understanding creative breeding partners. Instead of competing with the "highest numbers" crew, you compete with breeders that advance a specific seed, such as Prospectors or Dominos, etc., that also satisfy the contemporary rancher. There are many more I could list such as transportation, etc.[/i] [/QUOTE]
