[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 699511, member: 7645"] You also need to think of the man hours it would take to keep knowledgable about 8 different breeds. I "TRY" to follow Polled Herefords and Angus. That means reading the breed mags, sale catalogs, and visiting sales and such to eyeball the popular bloodlines so I sort of know what phenotype to expect to see when I see a pedigree or go out to look at a sire prospect. Outside of those two breeds and to a much lesser extent the Line One horned Herefords and Pinzgauers, I admit that I really am not competent to even comment on the popular sires of the other 50 breeds. To really become (and stay) comfortable and functionally competent using genetics from Horned Herefords, Welsh Blacks, British Whites, two different types of bison, and then FOUR other breeds to be named later would be like having another parttime job.
